Gas Chamber, 2019
analog photograph
series of 4 individual photographs, C-Prints
88 x 30 cm (22 x15 cm each)
Edition 3 + 2 AP
Location: gas chamber
Technique: The negative was boiled; the pictures were taken with a self-timer.
Concept: In their radical, reduced abstraction, the four photographs are reminiscent of Mondrian’s grid paintings. They appear brutal and cold, but also rigid and fragile, shifting between geometry and free form. The images show the pipes in the gas chamber, yet closer inspection reveals that the showerheads are missing. It is not clear when and why they disappeared or by whom they were stolen.
