"Trocknende Tafel"

gelatin silver print, selenum toned

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

In "Trocknenden Tafel" the camera's point of view remains unchanged, Simak depicts the process of drying a wet board. He thus documents time – in contrast to other works in the series Kontakabzüge such as the "Zaun Sequence" in which Simak unfolds time in space by moving his point of view.
