Image and text, and what can happen in between

Exhibition tour with the curators, Dr Barbara Segelken and Birte Hinrichsen (Draiflessen Collection, Mettingen), followed by an artist talk with Markus Vater

After an introductory tour of the exhibition, the curators will be in conversation with Markus Vater. The artist, who lives in London and Düsseldorf and teaches at the HBK Essen, approaches his surroundings with a keen and curious eye. He is interested in what is hidden or overlooked in everyday life. In seemingly incidental moments, he discovers the bizarre, the abysmal, and the comical. In the 63-part series Objects of Significance, Vater juxtaposes a photograph with a text written by himself. While the photographs are soberly presented in black and white and mostly depict people or objects, the texts often recount personal experiences and are imbued with subtle, laconic humour. Consequently, the relationship between image and text is always tense — a deliberate shift that demonstrates: What we see is not necessarily what is actually meant. The texts provide insight into the artist's thought process, but offer less insight into the images they accompany. Vater's black-and-white drawings, which resemble cartoons in terms of their formal language, also adhere to this principle. The text and image do not relate to each other in an illustrative way; rather, the text creates new and often surprising meanings that only become apparent on closer inspection.
