The “multiverse“ of Katja Stuke is black and white. It consists of various types of images: photographs by the artist, material found in archives and through internet-research, generated images by text-to-image AI, screenshots from blockbuster-movies, video- games, Second Life or other online virtual- spaces. Pixel-like the video reveals little by little different layers of photographs of architecture or landscape, (parts of) bodies or abstract images. At a pace, so the eyes of the viewer get a filmic impression of different realities.
Adapting this visual multilayer, the sound by Axel Ganz follows this idea and adds several audio-layers to the images. The exhibition also includes another video, titled Xerox Quad, with rhythmic beats by Thomas Klein, and some photographic notes by Oliver Sieber.
