HUBERT BLANZ IN SEARCH OF RADIANT CITIES, Book cover
Hubert Blanz‘ artistic works mainly deal with urban infrastructure, spatial patterns and
geographical as well as virtual networks. A very central topic within these
examinations has become metropolises, their fast and constant expansion, the
challenges which come along, their visions and the impact on our living
together.
In addition to modules of metropolises also networks from nature serve as models
for large-sized collages and animations. Mosses, leaves, lichen – the inner structure of tiniest objects are visualised through transmitted light
technique and put together to new landscapes by precise detail work.
In order to read and decrypt Blanz‘ large-scaled images always depends on the beholder’s distance. Often the pictured shows itself from afar as an abstract pattern,
when approaching it though, one might recognise the used components - a play
with proportions and the perception of constructed rooms.
