RUDOLF BONVIE  "CAPTURES"

Under the title "Captures," Galerie Priska Pasquer exhibits work from Rudolf Bonvie from the series "Stock Market Works," "Spam" and "Suicides."

The sources for the "Stock Market Work" are real-time graphics, charts and tables from the virtual world of the international stock market.  Bonvie captures, mounts, and compresses the graphically represented course of internet pages into abstract pictures. At the same time, the date particulars in the picture titles indicate the connection to the material world. This reference becomes above all visible when international events, for example the begin of the war in Iraq, the assaults in Istanbul and Madrid or the capture of Sadam Hussein, affect the course of the stock market. Reduced to red and green color fields, the stock market developments become a mirror of real world events.
