"Erlaubnisfelder"

Vom Wandel einer Straße

Das Projekt „Erlaubnisfelder“ ist eine künstlerische Erschließung der Bochumer Straße und Umgebung, der Hauptschlagader des Kreativquartiers Gelsenkirchen-Ückendorf. Ausgehend vom Anfang der Straße am Wissenschaftspark haben sich Jannine Koch und René SIkkes auf Spurensuche begeben. Dabei hat René zunächst die Fotografien angefertigt, auf die Jannine anschließend literarisch reagiert hat.

Visual Art

Visual Art

Different levels of reality, frozen situations between facts and fiction fascinate me. I examine these themes by making constructions out of paper and cardboard, which I subsequently photograph. Building a mock-up is a crucial first step to make the real or fictional world tangible in a different way.
Color, flatness and structure of the paper abstract the appearance of the real object. Space and reduction become features that shape the image.

Layering, constructing and photographing - analog sculpturing is complemented by digital possibilities. This results in images, alternating between the three-dimensionality of the form and the flatness of the paper.
