Codex Series. 2020

The pictorial work called ‘Codex Series’ shows a series of structures that appear organic and crystalline. The repetitive way of showing the depicted bodies draws on traditional object-based typological photography and consciously plays with documentary capture of reality. However, the depicted objects have nothing at all to do with reality. They were designed and generated from scratch on a computer. Based on an organic elementary form that has been multiplied and deformed along fixed paths, the resulting structures do exhibit a naturalistic quality and tangibility, but at the same time, their claim to reality is undone and undermined by their strictly geometric and graphic surface properties. The objects do not seem to be really anchored. They are not from ‘this’ world, but operate as artefacts at the interface between reality and fiction.
