Der Schwanz ist ganz leicht gegabelt, und die Federn sind quer gebändert

 

The photo series Natural Forms – Der Schwanz ist ganz leicht gegabelt, und die Federn sind quergebändert contains sixteen colour photographs. It refers to a tradition of thinking about material culture in an aesthetic context. The photographs show the continuous change of material and investigate the photographic options of imagery between or outside of the representational and non-representational. Especially in a state of decay and transition, things are in a diffuse formal order, which stands for something new, and already manifests itself in the image.
