Current Cutter, 1999

Clemens von Wedemeyer’s early oeuvre is exemplified by a digital print. Emerging from what feels like an otherworldly black pictorial space, the isolated human figure looks “scanned,” an effect we are now familiar with from various screening devices installed at airport security checkpoints and elsewhere. It is the visual language of surveillance technology that registers and recognizes bodies in order to turn them into objects of the law.
