Ricarda Denzer - Erste Fassung (Interpretation)

In her current solo show Ricarda Denzer dedicates herself to the creation of an artwork as well as its decay: Like an archaeologist, during the restoration of original objects either the missing pieces of a find are interpreted and filled-in using substitute material, or left as gaps.
The 'dirtying' of the cast of a historical find with original soil from where it was found is a technique employed by archaeologists to make the copy look more real. Denzer takes this technique and reinterprets many of its facets. The original here stands for the source, for the documentation and the origin, and it alludes to an artistic process where the movement between finding an object, the documentary moment, the facts, the new composition and the production of a fiction through montage is fluid.

In Denzer's work, rendering traces and imprints visible, and revealing layers by engaging with the locations, with the materials, with the narrative, leading right down to the voice itself. The exploration of the nature of original materials, the recently supplemented, reconstructed material, but also the technique of leaving gaps between pieces of original finds and the interpretation of missing pieces in the restoration process serves as a conceptual basis and a figure of speech in her new work.
