Echos from the Dephts (A true fiction)

None of it is true, he said. I fabricated every word of it!

On April 22, 1970, the centenary of Lenin’s birth, the foundation stone was laid in the Kola Peninsula, on the edges of the USSR, where the deepest hole in the world was going to be drilled. If the scientific discoveries are commensurate with the feat, the site of the Kola Superdeep Borehole will also give rise to an urban legend that will first spread in American evangelical circles in the early 90s, to today spread throughout the virtual world of conspirators. Documenting both the original scientific approach and the legend of Well to Hell, mixed in full page and thumbnail format, the images are all from the web. The poor quality of the compressed images translate the scrambling of the facts, the dilution of the truth in the fiction, just like the choir of texts stating so many snatches of alternative facts.

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.

Raketen

Robert Schlotter — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 16:12:31 +0000

In Raketen Judith Michel combines moments of transaction, intersection, and suspense into a fragile associative narration. The single images – some of them found, some staged – show the artist’s view on her ambiance and originated in her private life and during her voyage through Israel.

No. 1-10 of Raketen come as collectors edition with analog c-print Hier 2 or Schwimmer, 280 x 200 mm. Each is limited to five numbered and signed copies.
