Marko Zink,
Looking into the Void, 2018
analog photograph
Lambda Print, mounted on Dibond
104 x 158 cm
Edition: 5 + 2 AP
Location: barracks interior
Technique: 500 individual photographs were assembled; the negatives were boiled.
Concept: The geometric rigor of the image indicates order, obedience, and discipline as fundamental characteristics of the Nazi era. The composition also yields an ornamental structure. The individual photographs were always taken from the same perspective, sometimes in focus, sometimes blurred. The image’s size corresponds to the size of a window in the barracks. The five hundred individual images stand for the five hundred people who were housed in one barracks, thus symbolizing five hundred pairs of eyes that once looked out of the window—Looking into the Void.
