Johanna Jaeger: Shift
Taking pictures in the studio, using the camera鈥檚 gaze as a tool, always means looking very precisely. Minimal shifts can have maximal consequences, as in the work vases without flowers (amber tree leaf/ green_blue/ 1_2).. It stands in an exemplary manner for a small shift of the camera that has great consequences for the image content. In the figurative sense a metaphor for beholding and understanding in general.
An amber tree leaf is placed behind a glass vase and moves from leftto right. At the same time, the color of the ground changes from green (like the leaf)to blue (like the background), as if the change in perspective had also changed the environment.
