The work "Durchbrochene Zeit: Zerfall und Wandel" captures the fascinating metamorphosis of a surface at the moment of decay. The wall, built of red bricks, has a layer of white paint running through it, which peels away from the wall in large, flaking fragments. This contrast between the warm, robust texture of the brick and the sharp, crumbling edges of the peeling paint conveys a sense of transience and resistance at the same time.
The peeling paint acts like a decaying protective shield that can no longer resist the inexorable passage of time. The open cracks and irregularly shaped splinters are reminiscent of the traces of erosion and show the constant interaction between construction and destruction.
The lighting of the picture emphasises the depth of the textures by creating shadows in the cracks and making the flaking appear almost three-dimensional. This work presents the process of decay not as a moment of loss, but as an inevitable phase of transition that allows for new revelations. The interplay of light, shadow and structure lends the scene an almost spiritual dimension and allows the viewer to reflect on the fragility and beauty of decay.
