NICOLL ULLRICH

 Press release

The “Fantomás Series” are installations, that are based on works Nicoll Ullrich which were developed and photographed in her stu- dio in the past years.

The installations are taken out of this archive, adapted graphically and then evolved in situ.

The installations are seemingly provisionary and site- specific accumulations of material, i.e. battens, frames, racks, g-clamps, pieces of carpeting and foils. While the studioworks emerged out of a continuous work in progress the Fantomás pieces are developed out of the interplay of materialities always in relation to a specific space.

In the repro series “unique study” the use of material is again the focus. But starting point for these installations are photos of stu- dios or workspaces which are then put into a different context. The reproductions try in no way to be true to the original but show off their playful manipulation of realities, such as material and space.
