Tatjana Erpen

About this book

Tatjana Erpen's bulky works tell of the sensual matter and the creative traces left behind by people. Unspectacular situations become the scene of mysterious stories that the viewer can hardly escape. An archaeology of survival - a past full of future. Through pictorial-poetic condensations she succeeds in awakening associations. Photographically captured objects and spaces are alienated and reinterpreted by means of manual screen printing. She pays particular attention to the most worthless material. Everything is improvisation, without striving for perfection.
