dressur real
With the book dressur real by Wolfgang Zurborn the J. Strauss Verlag in Potsdam launched a series on contemporary photography entitled Zeitsprung in May 2001.
Images from various series of the last 14 years are combined in an almost cinematic montage technique to form a complex narrative full of ironic breaks about everyday scenes in a world shaped by media myths.

“…Wolfgang Zurborn with his workgroup “dressur real” puts this to the test and shows by photographic means that photography - no less than painting or digitalized images - represents, always and inevitably, a construction of the visibly Real in a twofold meaning of the word, irrespective of its indexical structure, i.e., the physical imprint of traces of what had once been.
The make-up of his pictures is correspondingly complex, on the level of their appearance as well as their formal abstraction. Simultaneously on these levels, other levels of varying origin additionally cross-connect, which are of different intensity, space and time, nature and culture, human and material world, signifier and signified. In part they network here, in part the different event levels seem to come about on their own, thanks to perspective, cut and lighting…”
