Iris Helena Hamers, Solarium
With Capsule, Luxembourg Art Week invests in the vacant spaces of the city center. 'Solarium' consists of patterns photographed by Iris Helena Hamers herself, search engine results, meme excerpts, modified stock materials, product photos from advertisements, and images she creates using AI. These various forms of images are either digitally originated or processed. In the installation, she gives these images a physical form, size, and composition contrasting their usual perception on small screens. Although predominantly three-dimensional, Hamers' work is influenced by the history and principles of traditionally two-dimensional mediums such as painting and photography. She questions how images are produced and consumed by humanity. The massive digital consumption generates a longing for the tangible and permanent, along with fatigue towards the ephemeral images on screens. While digital images overwhelm us with unsustainable diversity, she seeks to provide cohesion to these representations, addressing their impact and content to allow prolonged contemplation.
