About this artwork
NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS
The MYZEL photographs by Martin Ecker strive for a decoding of the elementary structures, to "something more real than the real" itself. Landscapes, buildings, people collapse in matter and form.
Nothing is as it seems addresses the constant changes in our environment and how they can affect our understanding of places and memories. The photograph shows a landscape that appears to be deserted, but which is alive with subtle… signs of a once-present presence of people and life. This encourages the viewer to deal with the transience of things and the fragility of memories. It points out that reality is not always what it appears to be and that it is important to be open to change and ready to rethink our perspective of the world and our memories of it.
