© Daniela Finke | | | | | | In her works, Daniela Finke explores the invisible relationships of the visible world. In bright colours, she marks bodies, architectures, everyday things or natural phenomena, putting them out of focus. In this way, her pictures bring elementary forms and relationships to light and turn the inside of perception inside out. Like magical illuminations of the unconscious, abstract and concrete at the same time, her series play through the temporary patterns of perception and reveal their fragile, rationally hardly graspable shape.
The exhibition focuses on the latest series of works "A Present from the Past", in which the artist deals with the ancient species of horseshoe crabs (Limulidae). In the differently edited and staged photographs, the contour of the animal appears again and again as a stereotypical sign: as a constellation or a scarab-like gem, as a shadow in the ocean blue of cyanotypes, which refers to the colouring of the coveted bluish blood of the horseshoe crabs.
A Present from the Past - not only the endangered species of Limulidae, but also other pictorial motifs in this work show seem to be a gift from the past: white-blue glacier fronts from Patagonia, discarded everyday things from the series "Discarded" or canonical buildings of modern architecture. By reducing the forms, Daniela Finke makes structures of the living visible and releases a dancing present. | | | | | | | | | Daniela Finke
