Frozen Orbit is a series of eleven paintings executed between 2012 and 2017. The whole series shows a time sequence of eleven minutes, where each painting marks one minute. 4:01 a.m., 4:02 a.m. …
Each image defines its own territory while simultaneously reflecting the series in its entirety. Common to all the paintings is the interplay of correspondences between a frosty landscape and remnants of architecture; a recurring sky and passing clouds–sceneries that are interlinked by seemingly random parallels and idiosyncratic symmetries. White moon/black moon, exterior/interior, awakening/sleep.
