UN(BE)GREIFNAH is a series of "portrait" photographies based on pictures from the internet.
(the german titel "UN(BE)GREIFNAH" is an invented word that implicates untouchably,unseizably,incomprehensibly close.)

the women selected have typical german prenames of the generation of my grandmother. they are women who have lived the integration of internet in our every day life but who hadent realy been socalised by this new medium of communication. their conception of reality is mainly based on physical experiences, their understanding of time and space is therefore very different to that of following generations.
Internet permits us to appropriate knowledge about the world whithout beeing physicaly engaged. the other side of the world is as close as never before but though it remains intouchable. more and more our conception of reality is based on information we can`t verify. the epistemological question about what reality is comes up with new importance.
