chinese image-scrolls

Beijing, 2015

series of 10 different sizes
pigmentprints on rice paper
monted on silk scrolls

The realisation of the work was made possible by
Kulturstiftung des Freistaates Sachsen
and Goethe Institut Beijing

Scenes can be seen on long rolls, which, emphasized by the form of the depiction, convey the impression of classical Chinese landscape painting. These “landscapes” were created by chance, by “the heaven”, as they say. The motifs come from the walls of houses, walls, fences and other surfaces exposed to the weather in the city.

I photographed the images on the walls, printed them on rice paper and had them mounted on silk rolls in the traditional style of Chinese art.
