About the artwork

The work, a rotogravure print – the size of a stamp – is observed from a lookout point with binoculars. A tiny picture of a wind turbine, hanging high above the ground in the distance, makes it possible to enjoy a stagnant intimate moment of something immense, yet fleeting. The themes studied in this distantly viewed work include a longing for a connection and becoming known by the other. It presents a finding on how something can simultaneously be so close and somehow so far that you can almost touch it.
