‘The work of German artist Anne Neukamp represents a distant, analytical- critical approach to the image.[...]
It explores specific formal relations whose constitutions carry within them a predefined function — the subliminal transmission of information. This framework is the “position of representation” of consumer society, which plays out on the level of a specifically constructed aesthetic. It is an analytical study of what contemporary society visually canonizes in relation to quickness, change, consumerism, and consumption. Neukamp uses the tools of painting to amplify the schemata and templates that establish the strategy of the media transmission of rapid information. She seeks the logic of pre-prepared mechanisms, which she uncovers and then hides again. She is interested in the principles of construction, formal reduction, the dematerialization of objects, and the visually compelling surface of this aesthetic. She removes selected elements of communications and advertising registers from their original contexts in order to liberate them in favor of a freely created image.[...]’
