PORTRAITS Hellerau Satellite Exhibition … The drone flies over the body; the camera points vertically downwards. No horizon, no perspective to hold on to.
The human figure lies on the same plane as the earth, grain and water. The locations follow a cycle: nature that humans take, work with and give back. A forest stream in the Gottleuba Valley, barely touched. Cereal fields on the Saxon plain, in full use. And the former opencast mining site near Lichterfeld by the F60 conveyor bridge, which nature is currently reclaiming.

We are familiar with the view from above from surveillance and target acquisition. ‘Ground Truth’ adopts this perspective and directs it towards the unclothed body. The images are openly staged.

Only the tone and contrast have been adjusted. Nothing has been added or removed. The title is taken from remote sensing. ‘Ground Truth’ refers to the data collected on the ground,
to verify what an aerial photograph shows. Here, the ground is arranged before the drone captures it. The closing event, featuring an artist talk, will take place on 28 November 26 at 5.00 pm
