Poetographies
Barbara Frieß realizes her ideas for images with a precise sense for eliminating and emphasizing certain elements. In other words, she “reduces her sceneries to the max.” She lets the beholder fill the space of an empty face with their personal fantasies of physiognomical details. She describes her own work as, “Schematical drawings (poetographies) of figures, which show the reduction to the essential, on the one hand they reveal the subtraction from reality, on the other hand they open the essence and insistence for an aesthetic attitude. The frozen moment endures through the presence of these figures and interiorises the essence of their perception. Perception and the way we deal with it are a constant topic and are duplicated in the respective poetographic moments.”
Barbara Frieß creates visual spaces, to which we add our own fantasies, memories or desires that derive from our own lives.
