Martin Dammann: Irrlichter
Martin Dammann鈥檚 artistic practice oscillates between photography, video, drawing, and watercolors. The artist draws inspiration from his collection of private photographs and his own recordings. From these, he creates large-format watercolors that capture certain elements of the images while challenging classic techniques, rules, and clich茅s associated with the medium of watercolor.
The works displayed in the Irrlichter exhibition capture the mystical interplay between light, darkness, and the permanent human state of searching. This atmospheric collection, inspired by the elusive phenomenon and legends of will-o鈥�-the-wisps (Irrlichter) from folk tales, is a testament to Dammann鈥檚 ability to capture the fleeting moments in photographs and translate them into timeless images.
