Silverturf (Scratch card) |
|||||||||
Process-based wall painting, 2002 (Scratch card silk-screen printing ink on a ground of green synthetic resin varnish, 360 x 520 cm, variable dimensions) |
The entire wall of a room in a gallery was transformed into an over-sized scratch card: “Behind the silver-grey screenprinting ink surface of the wall are hidden pictogrammatic signs that visitors can excavate as if in a kind of choreographed archaeological dig. What emerges is more like a pattern than actual writing, an abstract order laid bare by the accidental traces scratched off by the viewer. This is a fiction of legibility and a hunt for clues, as well as the accumulated residue of signs.”
(Harald Fricke)
