Jirka Pfahl - geeg piper
In the organizer's words:
Prize-winning exhibition of the 30th Leipzig Annual Exhibition
Leipzig-based artist Jirka Pfahl deals with the interfaces between original and copy, digital and analogue, program and product. He has been developing so-called folds since 2013. These are series of folded and cut sheets of paper that create relief-like images of repeating rhombuses and pyramids. The repetition of the shapes is based on a predetermined pattern, like an algorithm that Pfahl implements manually. The result is a visible work of art that already existed as a digital concept. The work combines the consistent implementation of the line with the incalculable interplay of light and shadow. The artist creates his works through the interplay of computer technology and manual work, specifying the rules of order and relationship and determining the sequence and positions that ultimately result in an autonomous overall picture.
The exhibition title "geeg piper" refers to a neologism from the international hacker scene and alludes to the dark side of the Internet as a supposedly open door to a better world.
The prize of the 30th Leipzig Annual Exhibition 2024 was donated by Sparkasse Leipzig, the Elke-und-Thomas-Loest-Stiftung and the Doris-Günther-Stiftung and is dedicated to the artist and campaigner for women's rights Philippine Wolff-Arndt (*1849 in Frankfurt am Main - †1940 in Paris).
