In Crista Brandstaetter’´s work the specially potential of a medium/material is used deliberately for the generation of new ways of visualization. The reduction of aspects of form and content is, on the one hand, the necessary precondition for generating novel images and perception and, on the other hand, enables a more intensive attentiveness to qualitative elements which are, otherwise, easily overlooked or which barely exceed the threshold of perception.
