Kathrin Linkersdorff's (*1966) fascinating large-format works move between art and science. Plants or bacteria form the visual reference point in her images, but it is not simply about their depiction. Each image is a carefully chosen, artistically staged snapshot of the organic process of decay. The reference to the Japanese Wabi-Sabi gives her works a dimension that points far beyond the visible. Wabi-Sabi is a traditional aesthetic concept according to which beauty lies in the imperfect and impermanent.
