'Trojan Horses' casts an unusual light on the links between the media of photography, painting and film, while suggesting questions to do with the constraints of an inherited context.
The abstract wall painting of Christoph Wedding forms the background for the photographs of Richard Schütz: by linking abstract painting and photography, the two artists have set up an unusual dialogue between the media, one that illuminates their mutual relations. The excerpt-like unreal spaces and colour perspectives of Richard Schütz find an answering echo in the tachistic gestures, figures and colours of Christoph Wedding.
Karen Oostenbrink spent 24 hours filming a photograph, subsequently abbreviating the shots to a seven-minute loop. With this ingenious trick she breathes new life into the image the life from which it is derived though a curious rigidity makes this 'happening' unreal: something like a remembered dream. With her conceptual and film-based approach she also points to the hybrid characteristics of the photographic image.
