Abstract Pictures: Rust and Paint

This post is also available in: German

Weather, heavy usage or simply age can change surfaces: iron corrodes, paint bleaches or peels. Great colors and forms arise that human beings cannot produce, at least not quickly. Machines turn into pictures.

I only say, art is an illusion.

Marcel Duchamp

However, these patterns have to be found: The set of abstract photography has been shot on German junkyards located in harbors from 1995 through 2003. Photographed with large distance or with macro lenses. I did one photo safari after the other, always hunting the best loot.

All photographs have been printed on transparencies and hanged-up with a certain distance to the walls in order to give them a third dimension. Light has a second chance to play with rust and paint and create a play of colors!

Exhibited in

Theater Chambinsky

Single Show
Würzburg, 1997

These abstract pictures work well as wall art in the living room, the hall or the kitchen. And they look like a painting although they are not.
