How powerful can images be? How is meaning created? What do we perceive as authentic? We are forced to recognize or create meaning in this world. In doing so, the artist couple Dominik Halmer and Ria Patricia Röder come up with very different image forms. Against the backdrop of an increasingly manipulative chaos of information and data, they devote themselves to everyday things, which they question in an experimental way.
In his monumental but playful image installations, Halmer examines our relationship to a world that seems to be becoming increasingly more accessible through technology, networking and mobility, while at the same time becoming more and more alienated from us. The integration of computer-generated 3D simulations into his painting shows the longing for scientific predictability, for reliability and stability. He creates deliberately unstable compositions as a playful, cynical response to the supposed security of computer-aided architecture.
