A moon made of ice

Erased drawing/photographs and concept: Katrin Laade

Poem and musical setting: Lilliana Matthews

“A moon made of ice” is an artistic collaboration between Katrin Laade and Lilliana Matthews.

Katrin Laade created a 120 x 150 cm graphite drawing on paper, based on a photographic image of a polar landscape, and redrawn it as realistically as possible. In conjunction with the poem, the moon, which is not present in the photograph, was added. The drawing was then erased as completely as possible in 81 steps, with each erased version being photographed. What remains is an almost white sheet of paper on which traces of the original drawing are visible—traces of memory, like lingering memories, cannot be entirely erased.

81 photo sequences. Lilliana Matthews' poem accompanies and underscores the disappearance of the drawing within its context. The many stages of the drawing thus exist only digitally, in 81 photo sequences and in memory.

The disappearance of the landscape and the ice floes can be seen in Apheum's sequence of 81 photos; the poem is subtly included.

“A moon made of ice” can be read as a commentary on climate change, but also as a reflection on remembering and forgetting.

Mehr über Katrin Laade
Katrin Laade is a painter and draughtswoman. She doesn't just use brushes or pencils, graphite, and charcoal; her tools also include scissors, a sewing machine, and an eraser. Katrin Laade employs process-oriented methods, which she has essentially imposed upon herself to generate an interplay between control and chance, or rather, play. Her paintings consist of many layers, as do her drawings, although the latter are ultimately erased and assembled into an animation. They initially appear almost white, but upon closer inspection, the traces of the original drawing are quite clearly visible. The drawings (and the paintings as underlying projections) address socially relevant themes, such as climate change and its consequences. Regarding the paintings: the most exciting moment is when the many layers of adhesive tape are removed—a large part of the painting process is essentially done blind: Is the image successful? Are the proportions correct? Is the image structure and the colors? Was too much tape left on or removed? Good images ultimately prove to be unpredictable. In the drawings presented here, snow and ice landscapes have been erased, a reference to climate change, the disappearance of nature as we know it, but also a reflection on remembering and forgetting.
