Nach Bild

Nach Bild is a call to action. Nach Bild is a manifesto. Nach Bild asks about the aftermath—a world in which images have abandoned us.

Vinzenz Aubry questions our image-driven society, in which the visual has created a distance from the world that separates us more than it connects us. Aubry explores and invites us to look beyond the image and our visually-dominated perception. The exhibition stages the times “after the image”–times in which the interpretive authority of images collapses and the work and the viewer form an interwoven system.

The first solo exhibition opens up participatory spaces of experience in which the audience itself is simultaneously camera and screen. The works lead to the thresholds of perception and are to be understood as an invitation into spaces in which the aesthetic experience only arises through the interaction of work and audience.

The expansive interactive installations emit infrasound frequencies, causing our bodies to vibrate and our retinas to flash. Aubry playfully challenges our role as visitors: in order to experience the works, we must offer ourselves as a projection surface. After Image, Under Stimulation consists of “open works”; that find fleeting completion when visitors become part of them.
