Marko Zink creates emotional photographic aphorisms, which he – in contrast to their hinted character – freshly defines with every series. Having both studied art and German literature, he works on the unexposed analogue film before he actually uses it. That way unforeseen effects – mostly of rather soft and blurred nature – are created, which give his works an enormous picturesque quality. This explicit procedure constitutes an important aspect of the complete work, is extremely elaborate and constantly varies with each series. For the series schwimmer, tragödien, im kurhotel the film footage had been mechanically and chemically altered before it was exposed to light.
