Susa Templin: Light Space Time: Cat. Museum Fur Konkrete Kunst Ingolstadt

Light, space, time–that is everything, besides a camera, a darkroom, and a studio, that Susa Templin needs for her work, and that distinguishes it. She does not consider herself a photographer, but sees her work as somewhere between painting and sculpture. Her medium of choice therefore is analog photography: Susa Templin creates her colors in the darkroom, and with her works she departs from the flat surface; with superimposed photography she creates accessible image installations that evolve into the three-dimensional. Light, space and time–according to her, these are the prerequisites of photographic work. Each of her works is a reflection of the light art that it actually is. The catalog goes beyond a mere documentation of the installative and presents works, exhibitions, and art-in-architecture projects of the last ten years. The text by Theres Rhode examines the conflicting fields of abstraction and concreteness. Christina Leber outlines in her essay the photographic philosophy of space.
