Christophe Guye Gallery is pleased to invite you to the exhibition' Sneak Peek' by Brigitte Lustenberger in the gallery's showroom. The artist gives an insight into the further development of her analogue multimedia installation' This sense of wonder'. Dead spiders and flies accumulating on window sills and in corners of rooms are deterrent. However, Lustenberger transforms the deadly insects into amazing, fleeting light pictures and abstract-looking photographs. They are accompanied by withered flowers, the decay of which has been arrested by the camera - but never stopped. What is often the case in photography comes out concisely here - what we have before our eyes no longer exists.
"A camera can't capture the flickering between life and death, but the time before and after, the time of aging and decay. My works are the result of a pause, observing the vanishing, indulging in the beauty of the disappearing and the disintegration. I am amazed at the miracles and horrors of death and its remnants, at the grace of the transience of being, but at the same time I am unsettled by the thought of death. Feelings such as passion, fascination, fear or even abhorrence are close to each other. I create a baroque and at the same time modern universe with my installations." – Brigitte Lustenberger
