Résumé:
Observations is Roman Ondák’s humorous and perceptive study of how language modifies images and vice versa. It consists of seemingly nondescript, black-and-white photographs of domestic interiors, public events, street scenes and objects, augmented with brief captions, which he arranges into thematic pairs or sequences. Thus a photograph of a train pulling into a station is captioned “Emphasis on events to come,” and is paired with a photograph of an abandoned wrecked car, captioned “Emphasis on past events.” The images and their laconic texts coolly record the subtleties of everyday transactions and role play, abstracting layers of social coding and meaning from the most innocuous-seeming situations. Published for Observations’s first complete exhibition at Documenta 13 (2012), this artist’s book reproduces the entire series.
