Collected Views: Sydney – Australia, San Diego – USA, Cork – Ireland, Hamburg – Germany, Vienna – Austria. Images that do not show local sights as exemplary motifs, but rather express personal preferences and memorable moments. Travel notes, so to speak, recorded with a video camera and inscribed in an ‘electronic form’.

‘Collected Views’ – conceived as a video installation – structures the eight city views according to a strict, mathematical mode: at intervals of 20 seconds, half a second was recorded, thus compressing one hour of real time into one and a half minutes of electronic video time. A time-lapse effect that, like a magnifying glass, directs the viewer's attention to the rhythm within the image, to the changes in light, colour and sound. A confrontation of continents, as if one were a fictional flâneur roaming the entire globe in a few minutes: from the everyday rhythms of African (pedestrian) streets to the industrial chaos of traffic at a US crossroads; from the dreariness of a Polish suburb to the buzzing comings and goings of a Chinese sea of bicycles; from the mechanical beauty of the port of Hamburg to the grotesque geometric lines of Irish lawn mowing – in ‘Collected Views’, the world is read as if through a visual grid that measures reality in terms of its ‘material’ and structure.
