Thomas Zika – Sovereign Fruits

by TOEXHIBITIONS 2022, 2022/02 - Thomas Zika. Sovereign Fruits.Posted on No Comments

Statement by Thomas Zika:
“…Before taking any photographs I am pretreating my analog 4×5 inch film material with mushrooms, which pollute out their spores latently on the film sheets, creating beautiful, but chaotic lamella circles. Depending on humidity and ripeness I let this hidden process endure from hours to months. Serendipity is my friend and my enemy: the emergences of the artefacts on the film sheets are accidentally and unpredictable. The fungi segregate their spores upon the surface lying underneath originating extremely delicate lamellar aureoles appearing as a mix of explosion and aura.
Additionally I am mounting roots from dehydrated plants inside the bellows of my large format camera, which create black fotogram-like outlines to echo a „menetekel“ from the future.
I am applying this trans-dimensional experimental method within my project „sovereign fruits“. I am going to photograph in a biotope near my hometown: a creek running through a forest valley, swampland, birds. Viewed superficially everything seems OK, but over the last years the habitat has changed enormously according to the impacts of global warming.
As I am no longer able to believe in any truth embodied in journalistic documentary picture language, my artistic work results in these chaotic, but beautiful photographs, which whisper of a different thruth of their own…”

Opening Friday, 11 February, 2022, 7 p.m.

Start der Art Moscow

by TOArt MoscowPosted on No Comments

booth1010b booth1010a

Mit einem verkleinerten Feld von ca. 50 Galerien präsentiert sich derzeit die internationale Kunstszene in Moskau. Bei der Art Moscow zeigen Galerien aus 15 Ländern ihr Programm, wobei sicher die russischen Galerien bei weitem den größten Anteil stellen: Mit Aidan, Guelman, XL und Krokin sind denn auch die wichtigsten Moskauer Galerien dabei. Bei der Vernissage am gestrigen Abend war der Andrang wie in den Jahren zuvor unvermindert groß.

Die Stadt scheint nach der Krise gereinigt: Allerorten bewegen sich die Kräne wieder, die Sehenswürdigkeiten aufgeputzt, auf den Straßen prächtige Autos. Man munkelt, dass nun der allmächtige Bürgermeister Lushkov, der über viele Jahre Moskau nach eigenen Regeln beherrschte, abtreten muss: Zeit für Veränderung in einer Stadt, die sich sowieso jeden Tag neu erfindet.

Anbei ein paar Impressionen der Messe und der Stadt:

Thomas Zika shows Butterflies

butterflies05

From 4 September the internationally active photographer Thomas Zika will be showing works entitled “Butterflies – Dem Admiral das Leben gerettet”. in our gallery. In contrast to the sober, objective depiction of butterflies in “Papillons” last exhibition, Zika now finds an opulent and very poetic pictorial language for the depiction of butterflies. In large-format and color-intensive prints, the viewer is confronted with an exuberant nature that literally swells out of the picture, thus counteracting the technical gesture of the medium of photography.

Exhibition: 4 September – 2 October 2010.
Opening: Friday, 3 September 2010, 7 p. m.
