SIM redefined

 Posted on April 22, 2025      by arslohgo

SIM, commonly known as a cell phone chip card (Subscriber Identity Module), serves as an abbreviation for multiple terms. In this work, I’ve created my own contextual usage, addressing a person and their statements that currently occupy my thoughts. The piece explores communication in different contexts—specifically the incommunicable as the source of all violence, referencing J.-P. Sartre. Sartre emerges both from and behind the smartphone display, which shows a SIM card in its lower left corner. This visual element transforms the abbreviation’s meaning to “Sartre In Mind.”

[A] The combination of several visual objects against a themed background 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.
