Room 107: Andreas Schulze - Your File

The varying photographic series of Andreas Schulze consist of individual motifs which seem as if they have been photographed or found at random: unclear night images, surfaces that seem reminiscent of light studies rather than portrayals of specific objects, or photographs referring to the art history and advertising traditions of the 1960s and 1970s, but without clearly indicating the sources. The anonymity of the image motif is a central theme running through the whole oeuvre of this photographer. However, a second look reveals the logic of the image sequences, which awaken certain associations and connections and increasingly exclude the possibility that they were combined by chance. There is no linear narrative structure: rather, the narrative reveals itself through a kind of “parallel montage” allowing the artist to make the leap between different contexts and photographic languages. Andreas Schulze thus navigates the flow of perception, using familiar images or extracts of images which we know from the history of film and the mass media. It is left to the viewer to construct narratives at which the artist merely hints.
