A Sixpack Space Odyssee

A glance out of the compartment window, a moment of doubt: is it us, or is it the neighboring train? Thomas Fuerhapter's subway puzzle Planes or Turk/Stöger's dizzying desert panorama paradox_paradise may have been inspired by everyday life's minor loss of orientation. The feeling of losing one's own, imagined point of view is uncanny, be it that - as here - the wind blows the view away in the sand. Or that the light can only hint at a space, as in Ben Pointeker's study in black ...... ...::...::::ccccoCCoooo:: But perhaps it is precisely the light that - from impossible angles - leads us astray: Manuel Knapp's visibility of interim~ gives and deprives us of a foothold in the constant flow of coordinates: We relate, assess, want to know where we are. Even if it's just a movie. Who likes to get lost? (Maya McKechneay)
