Boris Gaberščik Von Dieser Welt
23 October – 25 November 2017

Opening of the exhibition: 23 October 2017, at 20h

“Gaberščik’s atelier is a cemetery of found objects, which strewn across the floor await their revival. When he sets them in front of the lens, they seem to rise from the dead, and begin a new life under the photographer’s masterful manipulation of light. The resurrection of the objects might suggest a biblical connotation, but is in no way sacral in character, a fact supported by the very title of the series. While Jesus says in John’s gospel: “My kingdom is not of this world,” ist nicht von dieser Welt, Gaberščik claims the opposite – he places his photographs in the earthly world, more so than he has done in his previous series. While Von dieser Welt retains certain elements of alchemy observed in Solve et Coagula, as well as the Ordo ab Chao concept of order above chaos, the essence of the work is now different. It is something that originates from this world and is intended for its inhabitants.”
