The work Tools is based on the intention to invent Photoshop tools for the world outside the screen. I created instruments which would allow me to change things in my surrounding according to my imagination. The 10 photographs show analogue instruments which alter the perception of reality right in front of one’s eyes. They are suggesting the possibility to produce hairline cracks in the sky or sunsets on the streets’ asphalt. They are enabling the user to remove objects from the visual field or to separate individuals from a crowd. The tools are designed to be either hand-held or mounted on tripods. The series is subdivided into 3 different categories of tools: one which deals with optical effects – like blurring or blind spots; a second category which modifies sunlight and its perception, and a third one which alters the motifs of photographs. After I finished the series a friend pointed out that it has a great resemblance with the work of Alexander Calder.

This work represents one step in a series of cinematic structural analyses studies centering around George Lucas’s original STARWAR trilogy. Each frame is presented chronologically from left to right, top to bottom in such a way as to reproduce the film’s aspect-ratio, thus allowing the entire film to be seen and studied as a single image.
Dennis Neuschaefer-Rube Stilled Films, 2007/2008
Becoming quite pleased with the results of this particular experiment, I became rather excited about showing it in the context of my approaching Structure of an Epic installation. A few weeks after making an initial print of the image, I discovered in Berlin, to my chagrin, an art book which included the work of one Dennis Neuschaefer-Rube who had applied an almost identical process to the films of Stanley Kubrick.

But it’s a Newton at first sight, and indeed perhaps the only image I ever made that came even close.
Helmut Newton Private Property, 1992
From the moment I saw this image coming to life in my dark room it touched me in a special way. It brought back memories of long forgotten photographs, - images I have seen many times but which have no direct connection with my own body of work. I have published this image once, but never exhibited it; somehow it feels not really mine. When I read your call for submissions I understood there is a word for this: a dead darling… This image recollects many old photographs, from the first ghost capture pictures to the experiments of Muybridge. But most of all it reminds me of a crossing between Etienne- Jules Marey and Julius Gross (the “house” photographer of the Wandervogel movement in Germany in the 1920’s

Contrary to the last DD, this work is a typical artwork. The work consists of an assemblage of two found pictures of the artist’s mother (found in the family archive of the artist), presented side by side in an accidental matching, - as well as a recent re-staged picture.

The final outlook is that of a passepartout, reminding one of those common family frames, easily associated with home. This work resembles the work of Richard Prince.

Elspeth Diederix California, 2001
I thought I didn’t have anything for you guys this time round. But then << whamo >> : just over a week ago (not gonna cop to being a coy copycat) I was flipping through this great book of early William Wegman photographs (yes, the same guy who makes those hopelessly banal dog photos) and I saw the same pose and gesture in a work of his from 1971 entitled “To see if he was awake”. He “blindsighted” me by 28 years and it took 10 more to find it out! So, the differences: color vs. B&W, theatrical spotlight vs. even lighting, not using myself as the model vs. he’s in his image, a solo figure represented instead of an interaction between two people, no blanket vs. blanket, camera position, etc. But the basic similarity is striking, a depiction of this absurd action -- sleeping while standing. Back in the day, I myself was known on occasion to nod off in said vertical position, but these days I strongly prefer the horizontal variation, zzzzzzzz.

My photo is called ‘Zelfportret Met Veer’ (2008) and it is very strongly inspired by a specific work of Bruce Nauman. Bruce Nauman made a photograph in 1967, called ‘Selfportrait as a Fountain’. Although I am not doing exactly the same thing as Bruce Nauman ( he is spewing water out of his mouth, and I am blowing a feather from my mouth up in the air), there are some very strong resemblances between the 2 photo’s, I think. What I liked about Nauman’s photo was the directness and strength of it, the way his body lightens up in the dark space, how he portrays himself as an object, referring to the title (as a fountain)… It made me laugh; I think it’s humorous. This photo always stayed in the back of my mind after discovering it 10 years ago.

In the Gursky-days, I was totally excited about German Photography and especially about Gursky’s photos. Whenever there was an opportunity to take an overview from a high standpoint, I would take it with my imaginary 4x5, which was in real life a 6x6, and dream about really huge prints. I met him very briefly in 2005, but resisted the urge to jump up and down, shouting: “Andreas, Andreas! You are the reason I went to Art school!” Instead I just said “Guten Tag.”

Charlotte Dumas Untitled (Taza), 2006
I’ve photographed vultures for more than 2 years. I was fascinated by people’s negative pre-perceptions, perceptions which in my eyes made it hard for them to really see then as they really are. So I started to picture them as individuals by making portraits. But in the course of time I focused more and more on all the different shapes they could take, shapes which sometimes make it hard to believe you are watching a living creature instead of a bunch of feathers or a dead animal. Meanwhile I learned about their differences and characters and felt really attached to them. The one I photographed most often was named Katrien. She was the oldest of the group and a little bit grumpy. She often isolated herself from the others which made her an ideal model. The vulture on the photograph must be one of the younger ones as he is more colorful than Katrien is. At the start of the project my work sometimes resembled Charlotte Dumas’ photographs, with the same kind of (semi)intimacy and monumental light. I think it was not by coincidence because I admired her work from the moment I saw it in the Rijksacademie. There is this special connection between her subject and herself which you can read in the picture and which I also tried to put in my work.

Marianne Vierø Color Coding Dots, 2008
In my endexam year at the Rietveld Academie I was working with these dots that are often used at galleries when an artwork is sold. When I showed one of the compositions to Constant Dullaart he told me a girl on the Rijksacademie was working with these dots as well. This girl was Marianne VierØ. Straight away I didn’t feel like working with the dots anymore. Constant said I should just go on with it and that the endexam show of the Rietveld would take place before the open days of the Rijksacademie and that I would be the first one. But I never did. The Dead Darlings auction would be a great opportunity to bring these dots back to life again.

“Selfportrait 1, Amsterdam, 2009“ is part of the photographic- series “Folklore”. By reproducing certain pieces of clothing, costumes or accessories, “Folklore” is an investigation of cultural rituals, customs, and folkloristic aspects in ethnology. To have a better look at the use of these items, they are often staged in photographs.

The Observer Photograph 80x60 cm, Lambda RA4 m2, 2mm dibond 2008 — € 120
Jeff Wall Milk, 1984
The photo ‘The Observer’ was taken in Coney Island in NY, once the haven for working class people. The place was described as a “poor man’s paradise” – “a place where everyone had someone and where there were no strangers”. Over time, much of Coney Island’s original charm has been replaced with housing tracts and commercial dealings. In this context the man in ‘The Observer’ seems a socially charged subject, who silently witnesses the disappearance of the good old times. ‘The Observer’, just like the photograph ‘Milk’ (1984) by Jeff Wall, is based on an everyday situation and focuses attention on a ‘micro-gesture’ (so typical for the Jeff Wall style):a gesture, “that seems automatic or compulsive, and which is at the same time emblematic of tensions within society.”

David Hockney was the first contemporary artist I encountered deep down in the province, that used photography as a medium. This work is grafted on that deeply impressive experience.

28 This piece is a sham. The everyday objects of my studio are reproduced, made of wood and rough mock-painted. After realizing them I noticed that I copied a piece of Fischli & Weiss, Untitled (Tate) 1992-2000. Fischli & Weiss reproduce objects that are in their studio. The difference is that the objects of Fischli & Weiss are made by molding, while my items are manufactured by cutting and assembly.

About the copy and the original: Though it is not meant to be a resemblance while making it, I later I discovered other artists were doing similar works both in practice and focus: for example Amsterdam artist Peggy Franck.

Smooth Operator Karaoke Cover Sound recording 2009 — € 20 I make nerdy recordings like this for fun when I don’t have access to painting supplies, -my own private downtime. In this case, I had just arrived in Amsterdam and was over stimulated by switching cities, then lucky enough to stay at a lovely house to myself. I couldn’t help it, to have an empty space where no one could hear me and I could get wasted on my own and sing my heart out! My goal was to see if I could listen to the song on headphones and do all the parts including the instruments by mouth, including
that damned hard sexy sax. Then after flying home last week, I checked to see whether I had missed seeing Candice Breitz at the Powerplant, which I had by one day. I had the chance to see her work at the Venice Biennale in 2005 but I missed that too, so I’d never experienced anything of her work. Realizing I would not see the show, I know that in 2009 You tube is so democratic that people even post art installations on it, so I typed in her name, et voila! My inadvertent copy.

Santa Claus gives us gifts, always. This time I wanted to give HIM a gift, literally, with my hands, in my own world. In the end I realized it looked too much like the famous Michelangelo fresco ‘The Origin of Man’, the one where God touches Adam's finger. I guess my starting point was a bit naive though...

In 1912, Marcel Duchamp’s created “Nu descendant un escalier no. 2”, both too futuristic to join the cubists and too cubistic to attend the futuristic movement. 96 years later, the unsuspecting Matthias Tharang executed the attempt to avoid the ephemerality of his video work “9 flags raised on mountains” by printing a video still. The New York Times wrote 1913 the appearance of [Duchamp’s] painting corresponds to “an explosion in a shingle factory”. After 95 years, the comments on my print were unsurprisingly comparable…

Untitled Two sheets, 70x100 cm each 2009 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x201A;Ź 10 final sale price money goes to charity
This piece is not for sale. On this occasion in particular, the rights to destroy the diptych will be sold, - an act which must happen directly after payment. If sold, the purchaser may keep the remains. All proceeds will go to the Dyslexia Institute Bursary Fund of the Uk. I asked an artist in a village in Germany if I could make a silkscreen of an etching she had made some years prior. She is a middle aged woman who had moved to the village for its romantic history of art. The village had a strong role in the development of German Jugendstil, which centred around a nature obsessed artist by the name of Heinrich Voegler. His contribution, besides the actual work, was the organisation of
the artists into a colony, with a strong socialist base. He was later to move to Russia, after which he moved to Kyrgyzstan, where he was later to die in abject poverty. The translation I made of the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s piece, took the history of the village into account. Her original etching was mirrored, and reduced to two tones of red. After having agreed to the piece being made, I printed the works, after which she, by phone, changed her mind and refused to come and meet me. In total we met just once. She was afraid I was selling her work for my own benefit, a commercial process in which she would lose control. She did not see the point of translation, and simply saw it as a copy.

Der schön gedeckte Tisch Video, duration: 3 min 45 sec looped 2007 — €4
‘Der schàn gedeckte Tisch’ is originally a German b/w film from, I think, the late 50’s or early 60’s offering housewives of its time an insight into the fine art of setting a table according to the occasion. The remake I attempted to do was meant as a tribute to the beautiful camera work and amazing light of the original. However, after shooting I realized that most shots were unusable (I somehow didn’t manage to produce beautiful camera work and amazing light). And so, after editing together the bits and pieces that were still of any use, I ended up with a clip more reminiscent of Qiu Yang’s ‘Untitled’ series of hands, than of German housewife instruction cinema. Some day I’d still like to celebrate the original with some smooth operating dolly work…

Vanitas 01:50 AM UltraChrome Print on aluminium, 3D (computer generated), 53x90 cm 2005 3/10 — € 100
48 The work ‘Vanitas 01:50 AM’ Was generated completely with 3D software. It is a modern interpretation of the classic Vanitas stillife. Here however It appears as a denial of the proclaimed Christian moral,-a moral that suggests to the viewer not to become attached to earthly possessions and to realise that even a weapon cannot protect you from death. Prominent on this UltraChrome Print is a Magnum 357 which, on the internet is recommended as the perfect protector of property. A comparable contradiction
lies in the title. The traditional Vanitas referred to the ephemerality of existence and reminded the viewer of the hereafter. ‘Vanitas 01:50 AM’ more seems to underscore the here and now: ‘Vanitas’ as place and time. 01:50 AM is thereby the commercial time which watches, as if the time has been stopped there, in advertisements in general indicate. Copy vs. Original: Obvious are the similarities between ‘Vanitas 01:50 AM’ and the work ‘Morning/Tabletop’ by Marcus Harvey. Especially the contrast between the homely
atmosphere and the explicit objects fascinated me. Eventually in my variation I HAVE chosen to make it into a darker version literally and figuratively whereby some parts are even more explicit and others more suggestive, leaving more up to the imagination then the original. The shapes of the computer generated work are only being defined by the strongest reflecting light. The print which mainly seems built up out of black and white, has a blue radiance that coincides with the matted glittering of the UltraChrome Print.

Peter Fischli and David Weiss Outlaws from Quiet Afternoon, 1984
In February 2007 I was asked to work on a series of photos for an article regarding Tarantino’s new movie “Death Proof”. At that time I had no clear view of what the motion picture was about apart from the basic knowledge that it was a cult horror movie which involved cars and chicks. Trying to avoid Tarantino’s often splatter references I began to envision a film strip inspired by Lynch’s “Mulholland Drive” poster and Cronenberg’s “Crash” movie. I photographed an old car crash victim in her car and made the composition. The outcome came out too literal but I still decided to send it.
50
After a week I received a mail from the writer of the article informing me that the magazine had rejected my composition. It was, as they said, “too dark” to go along with the context of the article. I still think David Lynch would have liked it.

When I was small my brother was completely obsessed with the story “Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak and so it happened that there was a time our mother read the story to us daily, maybe to compensate the boys for all the fairy stories me and my sister wanted to hear. What kept fascinating me in the book was the way Max’s room transformed whenever he was sent to bed without food because of all the wild things he was playing. “That very night in Max’s room a forest grew - and grew - and grew until his ceiling hung with vines and the walls became the world all around…”

It’s rather a combination of different artists and ideas that inspired me: Edward Hopper, David Lynch, practically the whole western film genre especially “Once Upon a Time in the West”, the gold rush in American history, “29 Palms” the movie, “29 Palms” the photo project by Stefanie Schneider, Wim Wenders “Paris, Texas”, Paul Bowles “Sheltering Sky”, and so on.

Deer (re-make) C-print, 28x40 cm 2008 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x201A;Ź 20
Being bored on a island full of deer, looking for new images to make, admiring Tillmans work, I suddenly started to make a re-make from the memory of a great picture he made. No desert, no backpack, no horns, actually nothing the same. But happy to feel a tiny little bit of how he must have felt when he took the picture.
