opus incertum

Robert Schlotter — Sat, 03 Aug 2024 09:29:14 +0000

In opus incertum – a term borrowed from Roman masonry, which consists of building walls from small blocks, broken tiles and a variety of bricks – Daniel Wagener questions the memory of time and place, and the social and functional transformations experienced by urban buildings.
opus incertum portrays a new reality, seeks to document episodes of urban construction, uncovers what lies behind the ostentation, reveals what is no longer seen.
opus incertum is also a tribute to the collective work and commitment of those who form society during the construction process, who ensure the transmission of methods and culture, and practice oral exchange in an exemplary show of solidarity, while remaining invisible.

Published on the occasion of the Luxembourg Photography Award 2023.

Photography arises from a registration of light but presupposes further processing with processes that are photographic or not. Marco Jacobs combines screen printing and photography. The image can become abstract. The spectator then sees spatial relationships between planes, colours and lines, which no longer refer to the originally registered object.

Photography is born from a light recording but requires a later treatment, whether photographic or not. Marco Jacobs combines screen printing and photography. If in this process the image becomes abstract, the viewer observe space relationships between surfaces, colors and lines, which (almost) no longer refer to the original recorded object.

afto

Robert Schlotter — Wed, 08 Apr 2020 08:19:39 +0000

Aujourd’hui nous appartient. Aujourd’hui ouvre.

Afto - a small word that appears everywhere in the Greek language - deepens questions inherent in the work on quotation (such as direct speech, the writing of the other, the crossing of languages ...).
Afto - examines in word and image the concept of the "fantastic land" from a literary perspective, it is the sudden confrontation with what we are offered to see; what creates closeness. It is the natural proof that something visible, can’t be seen at all. An attempt to clarify ...

Comme la proue d’un navire

Robert Schlotter — Mon, 03 Dec 2018 14:10:03 +0000

Comme la proue d’un navire is born from a collection of snapshots being collected through methodical research on the Internet to build an archive; necessarily non-exhaustive results corresponding to the entry “pyramid“ on a search engine at a given time. This art of collecting is understood as a way of gathering what is scattered, of making an inventory of fixtures, but also as a will to ward off the ephemeral and virtual nature of these photographs.
Comme la proue d’un navire as publication is also a study, that of a shape and infinite architectural declensions to which it has given rise around the world. Through the diversity of uses, styles and contexts, there is a fascination for a simple geometrical form of the pyramid and its symbolic scope, the same craze for this figure of social or spiritual elevation. The emphasis on her, whether visual or literary, oscillates between romanticism, kitsch, megalomania and esotericism, with ever-present filigree, the persistence of the ancient.
