In the universe everything is connected through space, time and light. Waves are omnipresent in light and sound, sea and space. When different waves clash, interferences arise just like in the images of the series Interferenz IV (2015). The templates derive from found and acquired old negatives which the artist scans and photographs from the screen at the very moment they become visible. Unlike the human eye a digital camera is not able to reproduce a noisefree copy. Instead, colourful stripe patterns emerge on the black and white screen. They are nothing but interfering light waves. Unlike the shiny surfaces of NASA images, scratches, fuzzes, and fingerprints, that refer to the history of the footage, become visible. Even if their exact origin and their connection to the past were lost. In Interferenz IV medial levels mix with footage of different origin and from different times, which the artist bought on flea markets or eBay, including official NASA photographs, film stills or private snapshots.
