Eine Galvanische Reise

Technique: Mixed media

Size: 35,5 x 16,5 x 19 cm

This chest contains the gathered impressions of an expedition into the ultra structural world, which is located inside the galvanic images. Ideas and subconscious pictures emerge from deeply buried neural pathways that are activated, while being on that journey, which are not only caused by the aesthetics of structures or the crossing of borders between art and science, but also by the meditative aspect of electron microscopy. These thoughts have been intertwined with the biographical history of the artist, Leon Ploszczanski, while he uses the electron microscope as a modern way to restage the method of automatic picture generation developed and wildly exploited by his father, Tassilo Blittersdorff. The difficult father-son relationship has been written and documented on postcards and reports from the expedition into the galvanic wild lands.
