ed. 3/3+1 AP
Print comes with a signed self-adhesive label
Hubert Blanz's artistic works mainly deal with urban infrastructure, spatial patterns and geographic as well as virtual networks. A central focus has become the metropolis, its rapid and constant expansion, the challenges which arise from this, its vision and its impact on our living together. Like in many of the other artist’s series his project "Homeseekers – A City from Behind“ deals with spatial structures, architectonic situations and urban motives whereby the origin of this project has to be found in capturing London’s facades and mural exterior walls. Blanz took over 2600 images in each borough of Greater London, edited and, in some extent, composed them in collages and scenes. The artist emphasizes his fascination for the architectonical peculiarity of the simple brick houses that increasingly replaced the wooden buildings after the Great Fire of London in 1666. Additionally, an essential influence on their appearance has been the window tax from 1696 and the "tax for light and air" from 1746, both oft them only abolished in the mid of 19th century and therefore a significant sign for social differences during their long efficacy.
Reading and deciphering Blanz‘s large-scale images depends on the beholder’s distance from the work. From a distance the picture often appears to be an abstract pattern, but when it is approached, the components become recognizable – a game with proportions and the perception of invented spaces.
"Hubert Blanz is the science fiction author of Austrian photography. The first Digital Surroundings were exhibited back in 2001 in a photo space then known as the “Volpinum.” At that time, circuit boards simulated the satellite view of possible cities, electronic components replaced the real buildings and helicopters rattled through the air. Since then, Hubert Blanz has been building on a hyperreal universe: Commuter towns made of polystyrene, whose barren environs reinforce the impression that all life has long been extinguished from them, or airport runways stratified on an unmanageable number of levels, or highways crisscrossing on just as many levels, implying a vertical urban complex like that of Zion, the city of resistance fighters in “The Matrix.” The practice of accumulating photos, whether they come from the Internet or a digital camera, seems to be the logical consequence of a picture archive that is available at all times.
