C/O Berlin Talents 39 Maja Wirkus/Jule Schaffer Praesens II Präsens
Complex shadows create patterns on the floor. A sheet of curved brass casts a golden sheen. Delicate white concrete blocks rest on dark wooden pedestals. On the wall in between: photographic collages. The shapes and materials used in Maja Wirkus’s work extend far beyond what is conventionally understood as photography. What at first appears to be purely sculptural is in fact the result of a complex photographic investigation, in the course of which Wirkus explores architecture through photography, and photography through architecture. How does one approach a space? What impressions does a space make? How can individual perceptions be abstracted, compressed, and disseminated? How can one recreate the experience of a space?
