Digital images can display a maximum of 16,777,216 colors. This fact is not noticeable in everyday life, because in the visual perception the individual color pixels form into motifs, color gradients, outlines and shapes. However, in Adrian Sauer's artistic work they themselves become thematic. Like other parameters of photography, they serve the basic photographic research that the artist has been conducting for 25 years. In Sauer's work, each of these colors is represented by a pixel in a hue of the RGB (red-green-blue) spectrum. This generates images with colorful motifs from digital communication as well as latent images of gray noise that contain all kinds of images.
Of course, speaking of possible images means having an idea of what photography is fundamentally capable of depicting. A look at the history of photography and its theory makes it clear that the question of what reality photography actually shows and how it does so has been and is answered very differently. What role does objectivity play, as does the manipulation of photographic images with filters and editing programs? What are the consequences of the digitalization of photography and what are the consequences of the use of artificial intelligence to generate images? |

Can a photographic image still claim to be truth in the present? Adrian Sauer approaches these questions by portraying the possibilities of digital photography and at the same time critically exploring its limits. Intellectual clarity is always combined with a pinch of humor in Sauer's work. Truth Table is the artist's first solo exhibition in Austria and offers a comprehensive insight into his oeuvre to date.
The exhibition is being created in cooperation with the Sprengel Museum Hanover.
The catalog Adrian Sauer – Truth Table is published by Spector Books. |
