This series shows eight visitors of documenta XII – eight of 754.301. This sequel to “Around Public Spaces” is another interpretation of “public places”. The visual content has been reduced to foster the inner meaning of the paintings and the human beings selected. While exhibiting, people are pit into relation to all visitors of document XII by showing according photographs.
The work is large – people are shown in life-size, which makes it about 12 meters wide and 1,3 meters tall. It is hard to imagine online – please visit the details further down.
The works are produced 2008 and 2009 in oil, tempera and acryl on canvas.
Around 3000 Fotos have been made on documenta XII. Visitors came or left exhibition places, or they moved from one place to the other. Around 300 Fotos have been selected and are shown during exhibitions to demonstrate the versatility and the diversity of the spectators.
Eight Visitors have been selected and have been painted without alineation. Backgrounds have ben isolated by using grey shades and shadows matching the circumstances.
The painting void of all but people catches your eye on there interaction,body language…just the ordinary details of everyday life captured yet very interesting.
