What was your reaction when you heard that you where awarded?
Of pleasant surprise. I thank you.
Tell us a few words about your awarded work.
It all began literally in the Landscape. The first Sequence, “Limits of the Visibility” (“Grenzen der Sichbarkeit,” 01:29 minutes) The landscape disappears in the fog—its open forms, with few contrasts and subtle nuances, and the same old conflict regarding the moving subject.
The drawing is not yet finished, and everything has already changed. The images work with unfocused contours. They either have a composition that is taking shape, or work on forms that are losing their contours.
Technique comes after intention. Video offers the possibility of recording movement. It works as a tool. I digitalize the paintings but I do not use the effects included in the software.
Here everything depends on the nature of painting.
