SPUREN

It is preserved.
It is locked under the surface. It is unknown, everywhere and nowhere. It is infinitely small and endlessly large.
It has no matter.
It is fictitious.
[...]
Will it become visible at some point?

The hidden leaves nothing on the surface but traces and small pieces of information that can be quickly overlooked. It sometimes appears without our noticing it and disappears again a moment later. In the unknown, the hidden makes everything seem possible: faces become landscapes and traces imprint themselves on bodies like maps. Time passes so quickly in the hidden, one could almost think it would stand still here forever. In weightlessness, an oscillation occurs in which everything and nothing exist simultaneously. Now there is no more future and past and everything possesses only its own present. Nostalgic glances fade creeping and seem to sharpen themselves nevertheless for a short moment... Maybe... Maybe endlessness does not mean a forever lasting preservation of everything, but its disappearance and so finally everything dissolves, what once was able to exist forever in the hiddenness.

SPUREN is a publication that involves an experimental investigation of the hidden. In order to deal with the subject, the hidden must be transferred into the physical world. The intangible is manifested in several objects. However, the viewers will never get to see these objects. Although the publication allows a directed view of the objects, the object can never be grasped as a whole. In 23 theses, an attempt is made to approach a subject full of contradictions. But this can only succeed if the theses contradict themselves. The objects of the hidden are therefore revealed on oversized sheets of paper and made radically visible. The publication is an interplay of making visible and concealing.
