Astrid Busch is another artist for whom travel is crucial to her work. For her, however, curiosity goes even further, and she is not satisfied with simply finding unexpected and extreme motifs along the way. She wants to know what else can be found in the photographs she takes and collects on her travels. A large part of her artistic work therefore consists of developing further images from the photographs she brings back with her. She is always thinking of different ways of translating and extending them, using different media and materials; and once an image has been introduced into the cosmos of her work, it enters into a process of continual metamorphosis. For example, she projects images onto a surface with a striking structure of its own in order to in turn photograph the resulting phenomena. Or she places further layers of material over a photograph, which then also becomes a template for new images. Sometimes she prints them on a curtain or on aluminium, giving them a third dimension. In the exhibition space, they become structures that undulate or bend, and filmic realisations projected there at the same time add another – fourth – dimension.
