L’ombre d’un doute (Shadow of a doubt)

Robert Schlotter — Sat, 12 Mar 2022 13:54:56 +0000

“A thought for you during my journey, I can’t wait to tell you all about it. Thank you for the books, they accompany my walks well. A photo reminded me of our last conversation. You will understand.”

L’ombre d’un doute is a black and white edition of a hundred pages, printed at the end of 2020 and limited to 50 copies. It presents a body of photographs taken between 2018 and 2020 in Brussels and especially its outlying suburbs, as well as during walks and cycle rides in the French, Belgian, Dutch and Luxembourg countryside.

Risograph Series

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.

Ce qu’il reste

Robert Schlotter — Tue, 26 Nov 2019 22:06:41 +0000

Planet earth at night. Seeing the world from above. Everywhere mankind has transformed the landscape, illustrated by the lights of the cities shining in the dark.
Planet earth seen from its depths. A wild and spontaneous swinging. Instinctive. Organic.
Ce qu’il reste is not about rupture. It’s a change of perspective, a movement of come and go from one side to the other, reminding that the environment shaped and controlled by mankind is also fragile and ephemeral. Some things die, others appear. Transform. Regenerate.
Ce qu’il reste is an invitation to travel – in space, but also in time. A journey through images created with a camera. Photography itself is often considered as the medium of the ephemeral. It shows us a moment that undeniably belongs to the past, reveals our passages in a constantly changing reality, like a scar recalling our memories: a metaphor of the fragility of human existence. But it is that same medium which eventually leads the spectator to a change of perspective, showing what remains when the same spaces are left by those who once inhabited them, with their individual stories and collective memories. Far from the turmoil of men, in the silent depths of the earth, an imperturbable and majestic movement continues its slow trajectory undertaken hundreds of millions of years ago. And maybe for eternity.

NORMAL – Robert Olson

Robert Schlotter — Tue, 24 Oct 2017 20:37:42 +0000

This swirl refers to a schematic representation of a color chart used in the 1991 edition of The Joy of Photography, a publication of the Eastman Kodak Company. It makes tangible how Western normative ways of thinking are embedded in the visualization and translation processes of photographic manuals.

SPEKTRUM*

Katrin Kamrau — Wed, 07 Dec 2016 10:52:34 +0000

SPEKTRUM * is both, an artist publication and a catalog. SPEKTRUM * uses an open, participatory structure to embrace a triangle relationship between the publication itself, the reader, and the producer. Through reproductions of artworks, interviews, (exhibition-)texts, and exhibition views, the reader can delve into SPEKTRUM* — the artist’s field of interest — to collectively… Continue reading SPEKTRUM*

Konsens

Robert Schlotter — Thu, 14 Jul 2016 15:42:55 +0000

Julia Debus on Konsens: “In the Leporello entitled Konsens, images of landscapes blend together: rural areas, intermediate areas — out of scope of attention, subsistence agriculture, and a lot of space whose use is not obvious at first glance. Areas that seldom form the beginning or end of a journey but are usually crossed. Grasslands, rock formations, scrub, trees, rivers. A connecting motif are paths – which appear in different forms. The photographs were taken in transit, on railroad tracks over several thousand kilometers on trips across India.
For me, paths embody the opportunity to view a landscape with concentration: fixed points in the passing space. The documentary idea, which was still present during conception, dissolves in the process of photographing, editing and transferring into a new context. The Leporello offers a multitude of perspectives: folded up, it is as compact as a book, unfolded with a length of 7m, a predominant object. Through this duality, and the variety of possible combinations, an open narrative is created.” (translated from German by malenki.net)

Beyond Cold War – Collectors Edition

Robert Schlotter — Sun, 07 Jun 2015 17:03:43 +0000

Beyond Cold War is based on the examination of confrontation areas of the Cold War in Europe. Border regions on which the NATO states and those of the Warsaw Pact stood face to face to each other.
During the Cold War the observers were always observed, too. The feeling of observing and simultaneously being observed, the assumed harassment through the antagonist, the alertness and awaiting (action and reaction) are the central starting points of my work. For both sides there was the question about the world behind the border, because both were stamped by massive cultural and political differences, laboured by analogous propaganda.

Jürgen Kühner on Beyond Cold War

“[…] Schlotter’s photographs only take effect at second glance. It is only through the context that they change from generic landscape photographs to a socio-political analysis with the conclusion that borders can run anywhere and at any time, that no structures are needed to separate countries and people.”
