Description
Summary:The Absence of Things <p>The »Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin«, a weekly supplement, recently devoted a whole page to Florian Slotawa's »Hotelarbeiten« from 1999; black and white photographs in which the artist photographed hotel furniture which he had ­placed against a wall. The news-paper reported that it was one ­minute a bed, then suddenly a cave; one minute furniture, now it's art.<br> <br> Florian Slotawa had ­already initiated a series of »studio photographs« in 2009 in which he brought together a total of thirty-two motifs. The series is now ­presented for the first time in its entirety in this lavishly produced book, which rigidly adheres to the artist's overall design. Florian ­Slotawa's photographs emphasise an »absence of things« in their strictly documentary delivery and thus enhance the objectness of the building, as well as the ­details with doorplate, electric ­socket or pipe work to become sculptural elements.</p> <p>Exhibition:<br> Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck, Remagen: 27/10/2012-1/4/2013</p>
