From the series: Digital prints on birch plywood

The graphic quality of photographs conveys both the impression of, and the claim to authenticity and factuality. Inspired by the artist Joseph Kosuth, who, in his work ‘One and three Chairs’ (1965), examines various manifestations of an object, ‘Digital printing on birch plywood’ questions different realities and perspectives against the backdrop of anthropocentric notions of nature. How do conventional printing processes, image consumption on digital devices, and printing on a material related to the motif differ? What lies between the original and the representation? In what state is the tree a tree? When printing a photograph of a birch on birch plywood, both the motif and the material share a common origin but have both been modified by human intervention: the birch wood has been transformed into a rectangular panel through industrial processing, while the tree has been translated into a digital language through the medium of photography. The grain of the real wood veneer blends with the motif of the printed nature photograph. A combination of technical precision and chance leads to unpredictable results.
