A view of the sky and a Siberian husky peeking out of the clouds – this is when the words “sky” and “Siberian Husky” merge into the word and image game “YKS UH NAIRIBYKS”. Reading from left to right, the ‘plaintext’ image caption begins with the sky and ends with the sky.
The photograph is of the sky over Callantsoog, North Holland, and the work is therefore part of the ‘Playing around with Callantsoog skies’ 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] Additionally it is the title of the work that reveals a background and thematic association of the image.
[D] And in the one or other case it is just a modified photograph.
