Ein Moment Bitte

This exhibition is a work about time, and about the time that can be stolen from time. The moment in which the photographer allows himself to capture and record the suspension of life in motion with the click of a shutter.

(...) It is also immobility. The photographer stops and looks, and thus, standing still, allows the movement to continue, without being part of it. The handwritten and sometimes even careless words next to each print in this exhibition can help to clarify this moment. Curiously, it seems to me that the combined use of these canonical forms of documenting—photography and writing—directs the two forms towards a mutual annulment. From this perspective, the work then gains a new dimension when it begins to contradict the widely accepted notion that photography is green.

(...) All those brilliant travel snapshots photographed in black and white, showing a physical and private displacement of typical captions and numbers, are mirrored by the walls in a way that is not apparent; the theme of ein moment bitte also mirrors this random scrolling.

(…) The ein moment bitte is, in the end, memory. (…) but also about the desire to preserve memory.
