Anita Beckers Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition opening of artist Christiane Feser. The exhibition titled „Über Flächen“ will open on Wednesday, December 6th, and will run until February 3rd, 2024.
Christiane Feser’s works operate at the border between reality and illusion, between two-dimensional photography and three-dimensional object. Her art examines the relationship between formal structures and the interplay of light and shadow. In her photo objects, the artist reveals how photography can deceive perception by intricately weaving real objects and their photographic representations together. Through the apparent merging of materiality and its photographic interpretation, Christiane Feser creates a visual disturbance that invites a closer look and challenges the boundaries of photographic representation.
„Über Flächen“ showcases a selection of Christiane Feser’s latest works, originating from the geometric basic form of the line. Cut paper strips assemble into precisely staged compositions of individual surfaces, forming an image motif that evolves through a multistage process into a paper object where nothing is as it seems. It is precisely the intersection of art, perception, and imagination that Christiane Feser explores here. She uses the camera not only as a tool for capture but as a medium for expanding reality. This approach reveals a profound philosophical foundation. Her works not only reflect the visible aspects of reality but aim to establish a connection between the known and unknown. Christiane Feser’s art encourages transcending the concrete and material, opening a space for contemplating complex interweaving of temporal and reality layers. „Beyond Surfaces“ represents both aesthetic contemplation and an opportunity to penetrate the complexity of reality beyond what is purely visually perceptible.
