"Open"

C-print (digital) on Diasec

titled, dated, numbered, and signed (ink) on verso

Like his other series, Marc Peschke's photo objects are about abstraction, Transformation and encryption of what is found. The hexagonal milled Diasecs are concerned in a constructivist-modernist visual language with the Communication rubbish of the consumer society, which the artist to absurd, cube-shaped units of goods are solidified. These ironic, absurdly hermetic photo Objects allow the viewer to become witnesses of a game with complex content: On the on the one hand they appeal to a buying behaviour, on the other hand the texts do not refer to anything more to himself than to anyone else. They don't make sense anymore, have dissolved: Liquidacion totally! "Se vende", for sale, is written on three sides of a cube, but it's not clear what is being advertised. Another cube, which looks like a solid designer metal safe, carries in beautiful fifties typography the inscription "Poussez", "Drücken", but offers there is no evidence whatsoever that there is anything in this impenetrable block opened. Another photomontage reminds of a concrete block, "Tirez" is written on it written. "Pull", but what for?
