'Flatten Image' is a command used in Photshop to flatten different manipulated layers of a digital image to one, the final image. In my installation I built layers in reality covering the architecture of information and advertising with blank staples of white surfaces.
location: hansaplatz, exit grips-theater, opposite 'hansaplatz' underground
station
friday, 26.08.2005 from 12:00 - 18:00 hours and

Katrin Korfmann, scholar of the akademie der künste fine art department,
developed the project ‘flatten image’ during her stay in berlin.
she will now realize her installation for the public space of hansaplatz
on site.
the project ‘flatten image’ relates to the urban architecture
of the resident newspaper kiosk. Its entire surface texture will be changed
and newly arranged. the outcome of this is an apparently homogeneous field. the viewer only
realises that a change has taken place when taking a closer look. a disappearance
of the "normal" information that is now hidden underneath the
installation.
the berlin born artist Katrin Korfmann lives in amsterdam. her series
of temporary installations have been the main focus of her work
in recent years.her constructions are integrated into specific locations of urban reality
for short periods, evoking a new perception of the image. |
