Comment
The objects used were petals draped and arranged in various constellations, which are presented in a snapshot-like fashion. Despite the formal clarity of their presentation, the objects are not always clearly legible. Memories of painting are awakened, associations with drops of blood sprout. The edges of the individual flowers, fissured by the light, seem to blur like drops of paint, merging with the background or foreground. Zahornicky also leaves us in the dark about a number of things in his color photographs; his works only slowly reveal themselves to the viewer, but never completely dissolve.
