Photographic Art

In my photographic art, too, I deal with the theme of perception through the question of “reality or illusion”, freely according to the motto: nothing as it seems.
With these works I would like to encourage you to explore and question the limits and contradictions of perception habits.
Just as in my painting, superimpositions with all their peculiarities play a central role for perception in my photographic art. My compositions are characterized not only by the duality of inside and outside, but also by their interplay in the space in between.
In doing so, I investigate the question of how much one’s accustomed perception can be dissolved by the changed materiality of one’s direct surroundings. In this way I create abstract spatial pictorial worlds whose unusual and sensitive composition captivates the viewer and invites him to transform his accustomed gaze.

Barbara Goertz - unfolding fusion art
The photographic works under the title Fusion Art are based on artistic overlays of macro-photographs and their partial overpainting. The multi-layered works thus live from both art forms, they are fusions. The synergy effect not only gives the pictures a special liveliness and depth, but also allows new worlds of images to emerge in their inseparability.

Barbara Goertz - miracle fading moments
In the series fading moments the movement of a drop of ink is shown in different abstract-looking spatial situations. The phantasy of the viewer is challenged by the interwoven traces of movement and the front and back of the traces of liquid and solid material.

Barbara Goertz - map space illusion
In the series space illusion, object and abstract painting merge the way that the three-dimensional object seems to emerge from the pictorial body, an effect which is intensified by light and shadow effects.

Barbara Goertz - secrets abstract paperworlds
The works created in the series abstract paper-worlds put the daily disposed
Mountains of paper in an artistic light: searching the familiar, the observer is invited to reflect.

Barbara Goertz - royal blue covered by colors
In the series covered by colors the illustrated sculptures are embedded in a painterly environment. Their bodies are covered like a fragile second skin by color and structure overlays, showing marks of aging.
