Project ZERO POINT investigates the concept of ‘measurability’ from a spacial, geometric perspective. When does one state of affairs turn into the other? When is something still measurable? And: is it important for something to be measurable at all? Trying to shed light on these questions, I merge photography with philosophy and theoretical considerations from physics.
From 2020 through 2023, a single glass was taken as a starting point for transformational processes, in which photographic images were altered into multilayered compositions. Pictorial spaces that are variable and subject to chance in an experimental, unconscious method of choice, inspiration, and demolition. The results of split, remodel, and repeat invite the viewer to explore and contemplate the notions of space and time as a dimension in which meaning remains something definitely unfinished, but in which measurability is crucial. After all, when there is nothing to hold on to, we have to choose a point of departure from which we can reorganise our life.
The title refers to David Bohm's zero point energy of space: We come to a certain length at which the measurement of space and time becomes totally indefinable.
