Pentimenti revisited

Ute Lindner

Six years ago, Ute Lindner created a large-scale cyanotype 39 x 21 feet in size for the Löwenpalais. First, she photographed the window façade of the main exhibition space 1:1; she then replaced the view to the outside with a personal visual complex of interlocking rooms. Now, this monumental photographic work on fabric is part of a new presentation. The artist created works for the adjacent rooms that enter into a dialogue with the Pentimenti work: one of these is a video piece that addresses the perception and dissolution of space; another is a photo installation that can be experienced in two and three dimensions.
For Ute Lindner, photography is not an instrument for reproducing reality, but rather a material that can be used to form and change it. The artist combines multiple photographic images to create an autonomous reality that resists references to space and time that are extraneous to the image while, in merging them, bringing about a dissolution of boundaries.
