Lotte Reimanns (DE, 1982) Jaunt is based on a collection of nude (self-)portraits of an elderly amateur photographers couple found on a picture sharing site. Other pictures from “random” sources on the Internet were added. Reimann re-photographed them all from a computer screen.
“Metal, steel, glass, leather, plastic, oil, and dirt – all agglomerated into one piece, which encloses me – blasting with tremendous speed through the landscape, is hugely exciting, arousing.” (Lotte Reimann)
Lotte Reimann studied fine arts with a favor for photographic images. Her work gives insight into personal worlds, leaving room for her own artist perspective. Found and own images, texts, and sounds connect easily into open story lines. These fragmentary narratives touch on existing power structures, e.g. between author and subject. The 'erotic' body in ‘modern’ society, and the archive as a controversial tool for both understanding and authorization are Lotte's recurring subjects of investigation.
