Zyklische Bewegung / staged photography
When you first see the works of Florian Merkel, you are struck for a second. What is this?
Photographs colored in hours of work on the computer?
During his studies in Leipzig in the 1980s, Merkel was already engaged in the time-honored tradition of coloring black-and-white photographs. In those days, glaze colors were used for various support tasks. But to color his staged photos with a brush, he was already drawn to this temptation back then and constantly developed the technique in the years that followed.
Of course, Florian Merkel also experimented with the computer, the digital imitation seemed to him for a short time to lead to the similar effects.
In the meantime, he has returned to the traditional methods. He appreciates them and plays to their strengths; the individually produced unique piece with its microcosm is what interests and motivates him.
