Barbara Proschak’s essential method comprises collecting and archiving. Proschak makes still lifes that have to be viewed in their abundance.
The book constitutes the essence of Proschak’s cross-genre photographic sketchbooks of the last ten years. Her examination of variability runs like a guiding thread through her oeuvre.
Individual works, photographic arrangements, series, or tableaus originate within the scope of her artistic research. For example, images are deliberately subjected to opposing forms of appearance and contexts so as to explore their characteristic qualities: the distinction between people, objects, forms, patterns, or materials; the discontinuities in alleged continuity.
