Galerie Lindner: Günther and Loredana Selichar – 844 Photograms
Worth its weight
The photograms created by Günther and Loredana Selichar show nothing but small white dots on a black background. Seemingly placed at random, their minimalistic playfulness develops its own charm. Through the outstanding text written for the exhibit by Ruth Horak, one learns that every single dot originated from one-gram weights, all of which were individually placed onto the photo paper. It becomes clear that the works are as accurate as they could ever be: the weight of each photo paper equals the number of grams that were placed onto it. The 97 photograms actually weigh 97 grams. Photo art is rarely as precise as this.
The small gallery arranged this exhibit with passion for detail. If you have the time to see sophisticated art presented slightly away from the usual gallery districts, you will greatly enjoy this presentation.
