Der Coronavirus ist ein fixer Bestandteil von unserem momentanen Leben.
Auch wenn für uns nicht sichtbar, sind wir von dieser Gefahr umgeben. Mit diesem Gedanken im Kopf, startete ich mein nächstes Kunstprojekt zum Thema covid19. Mit einer modifizierten Steckblende und meinem Dallmeyer 2B Petzvalobjektiv hab ich es geschafft den Virus symbolisch auf einer Nassplatte darzustellen. Wie das genau funktioniert, zeige ich euch in meinem Video:



#selfisolation – das symbolische C für den Coronavirus ist in dieser Nassplatte sehr schön in der Hintergrundunschärfe des Baumes zu sehen. Auch der zu geringe Bildkreis des Objektivs erzeugt ein liegendes C zwischen Baum und Himmel.


Das Ende der leere Straße meines Heimatortes auf dieser Nassplatte zeigt einen unscharfen Baum der aus C-Buchstaben besteht. Dieser stellt den weit entfernten Coronavirus dar, der uns nichts anhaben kann.

Doch sehen wir uns den Zaun aus der Nähe genauer an, so stellen wir fest, dass auch dieser aus vielen kleinen C-Buchstaben besteht. Dieser stellt die Gefahr des Virus dar, die wir nicht sehen, die uns aber trotzdem bedroht.



Zum Abschluss entstand noch diese Kollodium Nassplatte welche sich mit den Verharmlosungen und geschriebenen BS beschäftigt.

The coronavirus is now a part of our current lifes. Even when you do not see this virus it is all around us. I started a new wetplate art project with this thought about the covid19 topic. With a modified Waterhouse stop for my Dallmeyer 2b petzval lens I was able to bring a symbolical C shaped virus into my wet plates. Watch the following video to see how I accomplished that:



#selfisolation – In this tintype you can see the symbolic C for the coronavirus in the tree and also the limited image circle creates a C between the tree and the sky.


This wetplate shows tree with a C shaped bokeh at the end of my empty street. It looks like the coronavirus is far away and cannot do any harm to us.

But as soon as we have a closer look at the fence, we see that it is made of little C letters. This shows the real truth about the virus – it is all around us.




This wetplate is about downplaying and all other BS that some people write
