Relation to previous practice

Aster, 2008: topic of the night in the center/ allows to talk about the process/ to reveal the unseen/ the invisible is the main referent/ theme of absence/ introspection/ psychoanalysis/ exteriors become screens for inner images/ contemplation/ romanticism/ juxtaposition of the pictural and the photographic/ duration and instant

Nicole Hametner, Aster, 2008

Le Sapin, 2010: woodcut vs photography/ duration of production of a wooden matrice and long time exposures on a sheet film/ deep black of the matrices/ again the night as central element/ mechanism of photography/ to freeze and to solidify in silver/ the photographic emulsion/ theme of the forest linked with the sublime/ portal to an imaginary world

Nicole Hametner, Le Sapin, 2010

Schwarzes Licht, 2010: intention to integrate the space/ light installation/ role of the observer/ oscillation between present and absent image during the cycle of day and night/ forced to wait to reveal the latent image/ juxtaposition of drug addict and toxic nightshades/ Freud's three casket theory leads to the topic of the three fates

Nicole Hametner, Schwarzes Licht, 2010

Montchoisi, 2011: photographs of a swimmingpool/ different seasons/ the element of water and its different states/ from frozen to constant flow

Nicole Hametner, Montchoisi, 2011

First Trimester at Piet Zwart: built up on previous interests/ theme of perception/ techniques of the observer, 19th to 21st century/ pulsing thaumathrope, theme of the after image/ from stillness to the moving image/ intrigued by the temporal moving noise in the underexposed digital image

Thaumatrope, 2012

-During the summer I have worked two month in a factory. The company produces adhesive and sealant for the industry and ships its product all over Europe. The sound of the machines and the quiet monotonous working hours were an interesting experience.
+<tr>
-There were two days where I did nothing else than sticking labels on cardboard boxes, sometimes 50 of the same label for a small special comission, but also up to 1000 of the same. When I threw away the first charge of the remaining backsides of the labels I was fascinated by the way they felt into the big trash container. I decided to collect the huge amount of the following backsides in a bag and to bring them to Rotterdam to produce a small film. Not only the materiality of the backsides interest me, also the sound and rhythm of removing the label. Then other thoughts came to my mind, about the remainder in general, the idea of adhere to something and the process of detachment. I will test in the coming weeks how I can let the little paper pieces fly through the air and filming them, observe what happens while zooming in and discover some details towards a complete abstraction. Besides that I will record the sound of sticking labels on cardboard boxes and remind myself where I spend the last summer.<br><br>

-*coming and fading, images in constant movement
-* element of water, reflection of lighttubes on the waves
-* drying the photographs on the mirror, thinking about material and surfaces
-* now sound while RAW shooting!
-This small project follows another idea for a short film I had in mind. It will be shot in the darkroom, the camera is pointing on the rinsing tank where the developed photographs move around in the rythm of the water coming out of the pipe. Like the backsides of the labels in the air, the photographs also turn around, showing for a short instant the image and then turn away in the next moment presenting the reverse side, all accompanied by the ripple of the water.<br><br>
