Hang
Eva Maria Gisler
Playing with perspective and relations of scale, Eva Maria Gisler’s photograph Hang seems at first like an abstract painting, but then plunges the gaze of the viewer into the subject of the image: heaps of garbage. By digitizing and enlarging a film photo representing abandoned waste, Gisler confronts us with a visual reality that reminds us of our overconsumption and questions the impact, conscious or not, of human beings on the environment.
