Art is not the reflection of reality, it's the reality of a reflection. Inger-Kristina Wegener, 2024, Kappeln These words fit into the energy of Annette Selle's colors. What I mean by the term "other worlds" needs to be explained. The works are about seeing; these are not images of linear, bold messages. They demand less an intellectual engagement with their subject matter than an engagement with seeing and what seeing is for people, and how it shapes understanding, understanding before the rational process of language, or always parallel to it. Our everyday assumption about vision perhaps goes like this: with our eyes we perceive a finite quantity of three-dimensional objects appearing in the present, at rest or in motion. What we see, we mean what is, and where we stand in relation to these objects.
