About "Primal Ground - Language of Matter"

by Hans Kwaspen

About the artwork

Primal Ground is my ode to the tension between structure and decay-a place where the industrial loses its skin and exposes something universal. In this work, I have captured a metal surface in which the rhythm of vertical ridges abruptly transitions into a rusty, organic texture. For me, that transition is the moment when matter begins to speak.

My inspiration comes from the mysticism of German philosopher Meister Eckhart, who describes the primal ground as the origin of all images and words. While photographing, I did not feel like a maker, but a witness to a process that had been going on for a long time-a slow letting go of order, a surrender to time.

The atmosphere is raw and contemplative. The work exudes a quiet intensity, in which the contrast between the cool metal and the warm rust evokes an almost musical tension. In line with the photographic abstraction of Aaron Siskind and the material sensibility of artists like Bernd and Hilla Becher, I let the surface itself carry meaning.

What makes this work special is the way it invites looking without expectation. As a work of art on the wall, it acts as a visual anchor-a place where the gaze comes to rest and transience becomes visible as beauty.
