What do images communicate without any indication of the source, location, or the motivation behind what
\nhas been captured in them? Viktoria Binschtok achieves just such a situation in Cutting Straws at Midnight,
\nconfronting us with a wild mix of decontextualized components that construct a reality all its own immanent to
\nthe image and leaving the rest to our cognitive abilities. Sometimes loudly, sometimes quietly, these visual
\nclusters demonstrate their uncanny affinity based on the calculations of a machine and the incalculability of an
\nartistic gesture.<\/p>\n

The precisely re-staged photographs, which always refer to already existing images, refuse to be easily
\nclassified in standard genres by their artificial appearance\u2014cuts, overlappings of several visual layers, and
\nelements that go beyond visual borders take up our screen-based habits of vision and move them to an offline
\nspace. Still life or snapshot, professional or amateur photograph, private or public: all filters are turned off.
\nNetworked visual information distracts us for a moment from our linear thinking in favor of a pleasurable
\nengagement with a medium that for a long time now has not only been instrumentalized politically, but has
\nbecome a yardstick for all of us in our culture of instant evaluation. It is the currency in the attention business,
\nalways rising in value, yet its subtext is an old one: it could all be this way, but it could also be entirely
\ndifferent.<\/p>\n

Viktoria Binschtok lives and works in Berlin. Her works have been presented both in numerous solo and group
\nexhibitions, in recent years a.o. at Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich; C\/O Berlin; KW Institute for
\nContemporary Art, Berlin; Fondazione Prada, Milan, Italy; Centre de la Photographie Gen\u00e8ve, Switzerland;
\npier24, San Francisco, USA; Museum Folkwang, Essen; Centre Pompidou, Metz, France; Schirn Kunsthalle,
\nFrankfurt am Main; Heidelberger Kunstverein, Heidelberg; Georgian National Museum, Tbilisi, Georgia, The
\nKrasnoyarsk Museum Center, Siberia; Kunstverein G\u00f6ttingen; Museum der Bildenden Ku\u0308nste Leipzig<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
