“I am a camera,” says Jakob Mattner. In his new paper works, ferns, acanthus leaves, round shapes that look like celestial bodies pile up and shine through the black background in green, silver and golden tones. With their vaguely outlined forms and dark colours, the works are reminiscent of photographic negatives. In fact, Mattner has placed plants on the shellac-primed papers and sprayed paint over them, creating these prints. Mattner’s expansive installation Second Planet 2021 also creates imprints, as it were, casting vibrating images of stellar nebulae onto a projection screen.
