How up to date is the strive for the "truth" of a painting? Does the digital media overload still allow a close look at a picture and its reflection in our own sensations?
The artist portrait "Albrecht Schnider - Bis das Bild mich anschaut" tells of the intimate, occasionally agonizing struggle for every picture.
Documentary 80 Min., Production Year 2017, Premiere early 2019
Sabine Hertig (1982*) combines diverse print media and merges them till the extent of full immersion. She visualizes todays vast, yet ephemeral collective visual memory - she even manages to fathom the chaos of the internet. At distance, the visual structure of her work creates the impression of a painting, which gradually dissolves into subtle mosaic of scraps when viewed up close. Its a playful discourse on the boundaries between visibility and the realm of things invisible.
