Brief description of Birgit
Luxenburger´s work:
Birgit Luxenburger´s works explore seeing.They address the ways in which seeing is
determined
and the laws by which it is guided.
They play on the fact that our perception is invariably fragmentary, and that we are able
to perceive
only individual aspects which themselves are altered from situation to
situation.
In simple terms one can say that each of Birgit Luxemburgers pictures, whether paintings
or new
photos, exist side-by-side equally in parallel spatial areas. Althrough the laws of
colour perspective
apply, they are used so cleverly as if the inner spatial areas extend
inwards. Then the perspective
reverses as if the works curve outwards towards the
viewer.
