Erik Steinbrecher turns the world upside down and plays with the unstable and fragile condition of balancing umbrellas on the water, or, depending on the perspective, balancing the sea on an umbrella. The book, designed as a travel brochure, reproduces the series, and the artist interferes in the process of reproduction to create new compositions and layouts, leaving the traces of remediation visible. The work exists only as a book and was deliberately made as an uncomfortable act: the digital photocopy of analogue pictures, the visible artefacts, the thin printing paper and the simple saddle stitching make it hard for the viewer to gain an overview of the repetitive series. The irritation of conditioned visual perception through a simple shift of viewpoint gives the object a psychedelic energy.
