you give it an order

Photographs are flat; they show only one of many possible (optical) perspectives. Every detail changes what we perceive. How spatial is photography? What means can be used to translate a two - dimensional image into space? Terhechte tries to think about such transformative steps in order to make the transition between an image and its three - dimensional space tangible. She examines photography by dismantling, repeating and reassambling her images. By contrasting minimally different pespectives, her work playfully engages with the differences between various media. Composing images to new sequences she questions the realiability of chronology. Only slight changes in shadow allow us to recognize that time has passed from one image to the next.

Johanna Terhechte lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany. She works across media with photography, video and sculpture.
The starting point for her work are images, both her own as well as found material. Her project 'you give it an order' questions the orientation mechanisms that apply when looking at a picture in terms of its content and form.
