- Artwork description
- With its beautifully poetic, hazy atmosphere, Chemin de fer belongs to an intellectually-driven concept of photography that considers the mnemonic value of an image in relation to its real-life representation. The notion of time, as suggested by the photographic blur, emerges suddenly. This fluidity of the image plays with the fascinating, dizzying, and dreamlike aspects of time. As with Grauerholz’s black and white images from the 1980s and early ‘90s, Chemin de fer is imbued with a transitory and temporal quality that gives the work a metaphysical and surreal dimension.
