Overview
Overview
"Not the visible draws us,
but the invisible that underlies everything.
A gaze that seeks nothing,
and through this, becomes open." In Sri Ramanasramam,
silence is not absence, but presence.
The sacred mountain Arunachala stands
like an unmoving question in space:
"Who am I?"
Horst Eschment's photographic work "Condensate" follows this movement of self-inquiry.
Through projection and re-photographing,
distance emerges -
yet it does not separate;
it clarifies.
Between sharpness and blur,
it is not the motif that shifts, but the gaze.
Not the visible is decisive,
but the invisible that underlies everything.
--------------------------------------------------------
The works refrain from capturing something.
They do not explain.
They tell no closed story. They invite us to remain within perception -
until the need for explanation grows quiet. Condensate means condensation.
A drawing inward of the outer into the inner. In our rationally structured everyday life, images are often information.
Here, they become an invitation to self-inquiry. Who is seeing?
What is being seen?
And what remains when what is seen dissolves? Perhaps this is what can be sensed in the silence of the Ashram:
A presence that requires no form.
An Absolute that cannot be represented -
yet reveals itself in every form. It is not the depiction of reality that draws us,
but the invisible within it.

and precisely for that reason, becomes open. Horst Eschment
