and two fixed photographic works. edition of 3 available copies.
ist jetzt später is a handbound artist’s book, produced in a limited edition of three copies. The work explores the impossibility of preserving fleeting moments while reflecting on the fragility and relativity of memory.
The book contains light-sensitive pages, each featuring latent images that gradually fade as they are viewed. This gradual transformation evokes the impermanence of memories – moments that can never be fully grasped, shifting slightly with each recollection. Some pages are fitted with transparent sheets, which, when viewed, expose the underlying light-sensitive pages, progressively revealing new motifs through this process. Other pages fix the state of latent images, presenting delicate snapshots that, in their aesthetic, never fully disclose whether they will continue to evolve or remain frozen.
In this way, ist jetzt später becomes a poetic meditation on the concepts of time and change. The artist’s book reveals the beauty of transitions and in-between states, which are only fully realized through their impermanence.
