About the Item
Rebecca Ann Tess created her series „Template Selection“ between 2016 and 2018 after she had travelled the world extensively since 2012. It is part of an artistic research that dealt with an understanding of architecture as a form of representation of wealth, power, influence, and competition (amongst international cities). The real estate industry attributes to some buildings the qualification “Alpha++”, thereby placing them very high in the respective rankings. All the buildings represented in the series “Template Selection” are ranked “Alpha++”.
The whole series consists of 13 images of skyscrapers. Each photograph that ended up as a part of the series exists in two different sizes: 58,5 x 39 cm (framed: 59,5 x 40 cm – edition numbers 1-3/5 – priced at USD 2,600) and 117 x 78 cm (framed: 118 x 79 cm – edition numbers 4+5/5 – priced at USD 5,200). Each photograph is a pigment inkjet print, framed in a steel shadow frame, without glass. In case of an acquisition: the large version still needs to be produced (printed, framed). That prolongs availability by a few weeks.
The photographs of the series „Template Selection“ show architectural close-up shots that have been taken in global cities like Seoul, Singapur, Hongkong, Shanghai, Chicago, and New York. The urban architecture is reduced to an interaction of light, form, color, and material, tending towards abstraction. Tess was treating the photographic image as if it was an abstract-geometric painting. By employing unusual camera angles or turning images to their side or upside down, Tess most widely negates the principles of construction and lets the mirroring glass facades become the reflecting object of themselves. They are made up from recurring elements of an architectural design catalogue that is limited and replaceable from the outset.
“Template Selection #11” has been shot in Chicago. It shows the Chicago Federal Center, built in the early 1970ies by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
