quotes
In the works of Eva-Maria Horstick the need for communication and understanding, also in terms of social differences, plays an important role. She raises the question of authenticity within her protagonists. She explores the unretouched ‘being’ which - given the glossy industry that surrounds us - is often no longer perceived. Examples of her work are: "unretouched - families in the area" and the project "daughters" with interviews and portraits on the subject of future. The artist focuses on individual and social ‘being’ against the backdrop of social and cultural differences. It’s to "plunge and to breathe Eva’s pictures", as a collector of her work explains his impression. The daily forgotten spaces, history behind rooms / women / situations, interest her as well as the beautiful appearance on the surface. Unretouched Photoart.
Her night shots, among others from Paris, London, Berlin, Tel Aviv and NYC, move the people in the background. A meditative silence arises in the long-term exposures in major cities which she captures since 2007 up to today during her travels around midnight. A series in which the night plays a special role, she calls ‘Null Uhr Nachtaktiv’ (Zero o`clock night active). The noises of people and machines that normally take advantage of the urban space, she consciously fades out. As in her series "photo meets manga" it’s about the soft sounds, thoughtful situations and silent rooms that take place in the interior and exterior. ( S.C. Weiss)
