In the field of tension between static architecture and picturesque perspective, Femke Dekkers searches for free space in which sculpture and painting merge together. In order to achieve the desired image she chooses a camera angle: a frame within which new spatial arrangements can arise. She makes an adjustment, looks through the lens of the camera and decides upon the following step. Femke: ‘I constantly move back and forth between the camera and the physical space. I add, take away, and in doing so make painterly considerations about line, shape and colour. This intuitive process is leading, I do not make preliminary sketches. The place of origin is the work.’ As such, contradictions such as surface and space, painting and sculpture or registration and reproduction are carefully played against each other, solved or transcended in her photos. This work is the result of the 2nd phase, 'stage' as she calls it, of the series Femke made during her residency in Bieleveld.
