After the two great solo-exhibitions "anti
reflex" at the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt and "syn chron" at the Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin in
2005, Carsten Nicolai is now presenting his
recent work in the exhibition "inver" at Galerie
EIGEN + ART / Leipzig.
The show in Leipzig can be regarded as a
continuation of his examination of polarities: In
Frankfurt it has been a black and a white room as
an embodiment of the poles "reflex" and "anti".
In Leipzig it is the reduction to a black and
white spot.
The surface of the black spot will absorb almost
any light. It is with its 99,7 % light absorption
the darkest Black existing on the market at the
moment.
Carsten Nicolai is also using a laser to project
a white spotlight, which is standing in such a
contrast to the Black that it will be hard to be
seen by the human eye.
Carsten Nicolai is not just interested in the
polarities of reflection and absorption but also
in the in-between, the transitions.
Like many of the developed installations by
Carsten Nicolai during the last couple of years,"inver" is giving a multilayered approach of
interpretation, which allows philosophical,
scientific and sensual aspects to interweave.
The installation "inver" is also breaking the
development towards growing materialization such
as "syn chron". The work "inver" reflects a
complete reduction, similar to a distillate of
the artworks before and is renouncing at the same
time a new step in the bodywork of Carsten
Nicolai.
