Untitled, 2013 - Charlotte Moth
about this work
Untitled (2013) consists of analogue black and white photograms, which are dominated by their black ground and open a circular frame to reveal a photograph. The round fragment cites various works from Moth’s series Light Studies. The artist both directs and limits the viewer’s gaze by applying a method borrowed from the French architect and urban planner Paul Chemetov (°1928, Paris). He used the binocular-like cut-outs in his photographic archive material to focus and frame details of an image. In Moth’s work, however, we only catch a glimpse through the keyhole presenting a point of view that is peripheral, subjective and mysterious.
Untitled was published on the occasion of the group exhibition The Geometry of Things (with contributions by Markus Amm, Sara Barker, Charlotte Moth and Robin Watkins) at GAK - Gesellschaft für Aktuelle Kunst in Bremen in 2013.
