statements / Alexandra Karrasch / 2006/07

  Es ist weder das komplett Fremde, noch das ganz Vertraute,
das eine Anziehung auf uns ausübt.
Meine Arbeiten entstehen dicht verknüpft mit einer Ordnung,
die verborgene Strukturen und Muster sichtbar macht oder durchschimmern läßt.
Eine Ordnung, die auf subtile und unausweichliche Art hinter
der Realität des Lebens steht.

Alexandra Karrasch, Berlin, März 2006

The inevitable materiality of the transformation process is
continously revealing of the material's intensity and potential.
The resulting beauty in the work is part of a mystery that
exists wholly outside the demand for definition or information.
It is my aim to produce something immediate as opposed to
immediately definable.

Alexandra Karrasch, Berlin, 2006


Nearly all of my work involves the use of pre-fabricated line as
a starting point, particularly focusing on industrial wire. It
is the materials plastic quality out of which single line is
accumulated into space.
The process of repetition has become increasingly important as
it not only traces time, but to me perfectly visualises the
idea of ´recollecting forwards´. A motion that is expansive,
direct, unveiled and in its nature seems to resist certainty.
In this way concrete as well as imaginary space are interwoven
and potentially induce a resonance that takes the viewer beyond
the given.
The work is non-narrative, some ethereal quality part of a
mystery that exists wholly outside the demand for definition.

Alexandra Karrasch, Berlin, 2007
