“SKISLE”—A fusion of “sky” and “isle” pronounced [skˈa͡ɪə͡l], depicts a view of Scotland’s Isle of Skye in the Hebrides. I created this work in Brittany, inspired by vacation memories after hiking along the cliffs and reminiscing about past travels.
The photograph captures the sky over Dinard, Brittany, and belongs to the “Playing around with skies” series. The SKY series explores its central theme through three dimensions: visual, textual, and auditory.
[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.
