ANSICHT UND RÜCKSICHT – Fotografie, Malerei und Video

"WITH DIEZMAN, THE INQUIRY INTO THE REALITY OF IMAGES TAKES PLACE IN THE CONTEXT OF ELECTRONIC MEDIA AND THEIR CONDITIONS. ONLY THROUGH THESE MEDIA HAS AN UNPRECEDENTED FLOOD OF IMAGES BEEN GENERATED, ALONG WITH THEIR GLOBAL DISSEMINATION AND ACCESSIBILITY THROUGH WORLDWIDE NETWORKS...

...THUS, VARIOUS PERSPECTIVES ON ULRICH DIEZMAN'S WORK EMERGE, ALONG WITH DIFFERENT MODES OF PERCEPTION OR INTERPRETATION: AT THE FOREFRONT IS THE CREATION OF IMAGES IN THEIR QUALITY AS PAINTING, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND VIDEO. FURTHERMORE, DIEZMAN'S WORK IS GROUNDED IN DEEPER ASPECTS THAT THEMATIZE THE IMAGE AS A MEDIUM; AS A RESULT, AN ARTISTIC FORMULATION OF CRITIQUE AND QUESTIONING ARISES REGARDING THE COGNITIVE OR EVENT POTENTIAL OF ART. ULTIMATELY, THIS OFFERS US, THE VIEWERS, THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE, THINK, AND UNDERSTAND FOR OURSELVES."
from "Art as Attitude and Concept of Knowledge," Dr. Peter Funken, 2011
