Summary:

What is a picture? This question runs through the oeuvre of Anita Stöhr Weber as she addresses it at its very roots. For even before there can be an assessment with regard to representation, crucial things have to be taken into account: material and support, surface and format, haptics, context, color and texture. They are just as much a part of a picture as they are the picture itself.00Toeing the line between minimalism, concrete and conceptual art, Anita Stöhr Weber unites three groups of works from 15 years of exploring questions of digital image creation into this artist book and transfers them into a fourth: a careful study on image-making by way of a book. Every detail of the product carries her argument further: the choice of paper, format and binding, printing surface, position and alignment of the illustrations are just as much a part of ponderation as is the relationship between the printed page and the printed sheet.00This is a book about pictures, a literal picture book and it is wrapped in a cover that can be folded in four different ways, thus turning what is read into something that can also be grasped.00//00Was ist ein Bild? Dieses Problem zieht sich durch das Gesamtwerk der Künstlerin Anita Stöhr Weber und stößt bei ihr an seine Wurzel. Denn noch bevor es zu einer Beurteilung als Darstellung kommt, sind da Material und Träger, Oberfläche und Format, Haptik, Kontext, Farbe und Textur. Sie gehören als Grundbedingung genauso zum Bild und werden als Vor-Bild selber Bild. 0Verortet zwischen minimalistischer, konkreter und Konzeptkunst, vereint Anita Stöhr Weber in diesem Künstlerbuch drei Werkgruppen aus 15 Jahren Beschäftigung mit Fragen digitaler Bildfindung und überführt sie in ein Viertes: Die Reflexion über das Bild in der Form des Buches.
