“Translucent Memories” describes an image in my head that now also serves as the background image for my private data cloud – a reminder of our shared past or a preview of a shared future with my beloved C†.
The photograph is the North Sea sky near Bremerhaven, and the work is, in the broadest sense, part of the SKY series. The SKY series explores the theme of “SKY” on three levels: visual, written, and sound.
[A] The combination of the background of the picture (the sky) and another visual object may evoke an (English) term that is ambiguous in German and thus “calls up a second theme”.
[B] In addition, this combination may result in a new subject or an invented word through an equally pronounced but differently spelled word combination, as well as through a differently pronounced but equally spelled word.
[C] Sometimes it is the title of the work that reveals the background and thematic association of the image.
[D] And in the one or other case it is just a modified photograph.
