Fred Frohlich (Fred Fröhlich), Germany Supersonic 2004, Germany

Supersonic is inspired by the awareness that our sense of sight cannot effortlessly differentiate a lie from the truth. A single video frame, appearing for 1/50 of a second before being replaced by the next one, and of which the memory nevertheless retains significant details, must have particular formal qualities. Supersonic consists of 100.000 electronic images that were viewed, picked and developed. As partial witness to applied image production, these pictures were shown and ordered from image banks, chiefly in bulk by graphic designers. Photographs were chosen for the collection on the basis of thematic criteria, formal quality, clarity and the purity of the content. The unusual manner of employing these image banks reveals the artificiality with which every other piece of printed paper attempts to usurp our attention.
