Golden Horizon

Berlin, 2017

Urushi thread and 24K gold leaf on old Postcards and prints 
Part of the exhibition “Nach einem glücklichen, goldenen Ziel”.


In postcards and books, we find pictures of places that we can take with us. Pictures that others have taken of places that we have been to or where we would like to go too. The Golden Horizon series tells of the appropriation of these pictures. It is about the graphic interventions achieved with golden marks or with lines sewn with silk thread. The intention is to draw the way to “a happy and golden ending” in each of the pictures; this place that the German poet Friedrich von Schiller tells us about, in his poem “Hoffnung”. A place that I call the golden horizon. A utopian place that coincides with the horizon line, that place that seems to announce the end of the world, which our eyes project when we find the curvature of the Earth.

These graphic interventions are created on postcards of castles of the Schloss Sanssouci in Potsdam or the Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart, whose names tell us about the carefree life and the pleasant happiness of the sought-after solitude. Other landscapes join these pictures, such as a panoramic view of the Alps mountain range, the waters of the German Langeoog, Hiddensee or Sylt islands, and the Arendsee Lake. They are also created on pictures of the lighthouse of Hiddensee Island. Castles, mountains, seas, rivers, lighthouses, and ruins are foreign but typical, where this golden horizon and the constant longing for a peaceful place to escape to can be portrayed.

This series of photographs has as its starting point the discovery of three photo-albumins (Dated in 1880 and 1890). They are images taken by the first tourists: the explorers. Hundreds and thousands of times those buildings have been photographed since then. But no one has gotten to know these buildings when they were intact. Although photography perpetuates time, humans can not control their transience. It is an absurd fact trying to return to these places his best moments. We like to surround ourselves with ruins that unite us with a past never lived, with the golden times of other civilizations.
