Jörg Sasse







After all, strictly speaking these works are not photographs, since Sasse generates them with a PC. This is not to forget that photographs do serve as his raw materials. The photos come from family albums, flea markets, or rubbish bins. And Jörg Sasse thinks that finding is much more original than inventing. He digitalises any pictures that interest him. And in the highly complicated process that follows, the photo becomes increasingly removed from its original existence. Sasse redefines the colours and the cropped section to be used, changes the angle, deletes specific elements or adds new items. The final result is an artificial product cleansed of all material contingency, offering the illusion of reality, a picture that we can presume is a photograph.

This interplay of different levels of reality and perceptual habits is intended to illustrate the enigmatic while, at the same time, relying on the fact we will see through the illusion. To Sasse’s mind, this is not contradictory. 'Seeing and thinking, thinking and seeing – who can keep the two apart?'
