-the final pictures-
-a little 4PIC-DOCU of the work principals-
The plan was to produce artificial space pictures that are made by pure photography and montage. Different materials, objects, gases and liquid mixtures - directly shot or shot through a microscope with short and long exposure time - built the basis and got later arranged to those space pics.
During the work hundrets of hubble pics and images in books (e.g. Mackowiak, Bernhard. Planeten, Sterne, Universum. Naumann & Göebel Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, Köln) inspired us. It is impressive how totally different the look of those images can be (real-looking, like drawn, false colored etc.) short example: google hubble saturn
Our results will be presented in two ways:
1) A little, both-way self-made book with 9 13x18cm prints of the space pics and short, fictional texts that unite them into a setting of a fictional space - the ALIENO. When you open the book from the other side you will see/read again little text and 4 13x18cm prints of pictures that show how the space pics were made.
The book is just to briefly explain the simple but effective idea of the ALIENO Space.
2) The 9 space pics have a real size of 50 x 75 cm. In the MEDIENGANG exhibition we want to hang them and additionally give the viewer the possibility to get the idea by taking a look into the ALIENO book.
