The jury in their report:
“The large-format photographic work is convincing due to the association with electrical engineering, the term of the “standing wave” returns in photography. With the photograph in the room, a window opens to the outside world. The water is representative of life. Positively is the direct perception, the width of the sea, the silence and the delightful color. The enlargement increases a degree of abstraction and approaches like brushstroke of free painting. “
The University of Munich writes about the installation:
“With the photorealistic representation of waves in the sea, the once empty corridor in the entrance area of the building now looks more spacious and lively. The picture invites you to linger, perhaps also to reflect on all those elements that are from eternity – like the constant coming and going of the waves on a beach. “
