Holy Places - What Is Sacred?
Between Declaration and Appearance
In the first image, sacredness arises from what is natural and elemental: traditional boats rest on the beach, held together by sea and sky. In the second image, the sacred is explicitly named. The pink boat bears the words "Holy Place". Yet rubbish lies in front of it. The sign asserts what the visible reality simultaneously denies. The pairing does not establish a simple opposition between pure and impure. It shows how a concept loses its certainty as soon as it encounters material reality.

Bali is often perceived as an idyll. Yet the reality I see every day is more complex. It is lived jointly by local people, expatriates and travellers. Nature, ritual, tourism, consumption and waste do not appear one after another, but at the same time.

The traditional boats rest lightly, almost floating, between sand and calm water. Nothing in the image needs to proclaim sacredness. It arises from distance, horizon and the careful relationship of forms to one another. The image preserves a stillness that becomes the measure of the pairing.

100 × 70 cmThe pink boat lies like an elongated body of colour between vegetation and waste.
Its clear outline leads into the image, while the foreground refuses every idyll.
"Holy Place" is not an explanation but a point of friction: language, colour and
rubbish are present at the same time. It is precisely this simultaneity that keeps the
image open.
