In Search Of The Present 11
DESCRIPTION
Archival ink on museum-quality cotton rag paper | 2022
The dynamic new photography series from Jan Prengel tackles ineffable concepts of the moment and the present. The photographs convey the idea that everything in the universe is in constant motion and the past, present and future are flowing into each other. Neuroscientists and psychologists have discovered that the human brain also perceives sensory impressions in time intervals and processes them into units of around 2-3 seconds. Humans then perceive this period of time as the present. “In Search Of The Present” consists of photographs with an exposure time of 2-3 seconds. It plays with this “subjective present.” During this period of time, the floral motifs were moved variously and the results seem to be like dance choreographies. Photographs, which often serve as snapshots to capture a still image of the present, blur into dynamically moving images. The flow of the moment is visualized as well as what changes in position and release of energy are possible within the “subjective present” of the human.

“I try to create a composition where your eyes come to rest, a composition which 'feels' right.”
About the Artist
Jan Prengel
Time. Space. Existence.
With his minimalist photographs, Jan Prengel looks behind the common ideas of these concepts and wants to share his approaches and views on the world. Where language and explanations usually have their limits, the works are intended to inspire us to break open our material view on the world and to create new perspectives on reality. The motifs vary and range from plants to urban spaces and surreal landscapes. The minimalism is used for both visual aesthetics and a calming mental effect. A harmonious visual composition can be found in all works and creates the basis for focusing on his own inner visions.
His work has been exhibited in the US, in Switzerland and in Germany, where he lives and works.
