Lights on the works of Berlin-based artist Stephanie Jung with her beautiful experimental photographs shot during her travels in France and Japan, as well as in and around her city in Germany. The effect created through the multiple exposure hypnotizes the viewer and creates a feeling of being lost in space and time. Quite the contrary, the images resemble precise snapshots of the urban everyday, which seems to have been particularly shaped by the routine and quite flow of time. Yet precisely these matter of fact, basic notes are countered by an exceptional visual intervention on the part of the photographer. Taken directly from everyday life, they are coated with a vibrating texture of gradual shifts of perspective, intentional transparencies, and intense coloring. The optical dynamic formed in the eye of the viewer resembles a Cubist sleight of hand, a delayed fanning out of perspective. A random moment in city life is prolonged; the motif appears multiplied and like a repeating trace of itself. Precisely this dynamic vibration of space leaves the images with an imaginary but also visually convincing sense. They appear to be very individual, as it is precisely such non-descript structures as power lines, banners, lanterns, or car colors that become the form and constitute urban identity. That the shimmering texture in their filigree structure appears to be exceedingly harmonious does not seem to be a coincidence, as commentary on life in Japan.
