“the ‘silver’ works, which I began in the late 1990’s, are in some ways the opposite of the abstract pictures that I make with lights on paper in the darkroom (like ‘freischwimmer’, ‘blushes’, ‘mental pictures’, ‘super collider’ etc.). they are actually chemograms and all I do is set up the parameter surrounding their making. the imaging process is subjected to the inherent logic of the material; it is mostly purely mechanical. the undeveloped photo paper – sometimes exposed to colored light, sometimes unexposed – passes through a photo-developing machine, which I leave dirty or clean to varying degrees. because there are remnants of chemicals, diluted more or less with water in the machine, the photo paper continues to develop, though only partially, over time. in addition, dirt and silver particles from the traces of chemicals settle on the paper’s surface, which often produces interesting scratches and brings about a sense of alchemy. here you are dealing with physical matter on the surface of the carrier in a way that you’ll never actually deal with in conventional photography. some pictures, then, really have a light, metallic reflexivity especially when seen from the side – and for that reason ‘silver’ is the title of these pictures.”
