Change is one of the few constants in the world. In recent years, more and more
images are being created that not only capture a moment in time, but also point
to a change that can and will take place directly thereafter.
Erratic is
a collection of current, often playful work by designers, photographers, and
artists who are exploring the reciprocal effects between stability and
instability, symmetry and asymmetry, and pressure and counter-pressure.
At first glance, the things depicted in the images appear to be in
balance or to be symmetrical, which suggests a kind of stability. But upon
closer examination, the work documented here tells stories. Or, more aptly, it
triggers stories in the viewer’s mind that show the inevitable events that will
develop out of the depicted circumstances.
The contemporary creative
investigations featured in Erratic reveal a range of narrative qualities
inherent in single images. At the same time, this work makes clear that even
conditions of alleged stability or balance can come to an abrupt end at any
time.
