Pictures of Pictures, an exhibition of eight photographs at Artist Admin, Cape Town, 3-17 June 2021.

“It was a bitterly cold February in Germany and I was bored. I had travelled on my own from Cape Town to Göttingen for the publishing of a client’s book, and in the evenings and on weekends I had time to kill. I walked up and down the high street. I climbed a church tower. I went out for dinner alone. I ate cake alone. I did some yoga. I read a whole book. I stared at the ceiling. I made some A4 print outs of photos of ceilings that I had taken on a previous trip to Berlin, as well as some new photos I began to take in the apartment I was staying in. I stuck them up with blue masking tape that I had brought with me (tip: always travel with masking tape). The resulting images are pictures of pictures of German interiors in German interiors. Interiors that feel different to what I’m used to. Interiors that make me feel different. Interiors with strange geometry. Interiors from the 1700s. Interiors with stippled walls, angled roof-windows and sloped ceilings.”
