Rödermark, February 2011. The Videor Art Foundation opens the exhibition „So weit das Auge reicht“ with the works of Gunar Mayer on February 24, 2011 at
6:30 p.m.

In his works, mostly devoloped during travelling, the artist presents on the one hand what the individual can see with the bare eye. On the other hand Mayer maxes out the maximum of the human visual field with the enlargement of the angle of view to 180 °. What can be seen at the edge only reduced, gets completely visible on the pictures. In other works the artist is using a playful handling with the panorama technique, by fathom its constraints and reduce the assembling of the pictures to absurdity.

Thereby seeming new, irritating realities are developed. You notice a familiar picture, but you cannot really see it. The viewer is finding new reference points again and again and has to adapt continuously the “reading direction”.

The observer may choose and change the point of view. This makes him or her moving while looking at the large format works. Gunar Mayer optimizes the available technique in a way, that the impression of the readability and non-readability come about at the same time.

The artist born in Tiengen/South of Baden Württemberg Germany in 1972, completed his teaching profession studies in 1999, followed by the studies of Social profession in Freiburg in 2001. Gunar Mayer is taking pictures since 1987 (autodidactic). Being interested in wide formats and due to his first paper work collages, Mayer developed his interest in digital scopes of picture stiching.

Attendants can visit the exhibition from February 25, 2011 until June 10, 2011 from 09.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. Monday to Thursday and 09.00 a.m. to
