The works of the series 'NEOTECTURES' are based entirely on digitally edited photographic material derived from architectural structures. The newly created entities thus represent artefacts of artefacts.

For the observer the claim inherent to the photographic material of referring to an extract of 'reality' clashes with the knowledge about the actual impossibility of the newly composed entity. This clash induces a creative act in the observer, giving rise to a subjective reality, which is based on the familiar but goes beyond it. In the creative act of viewing the Neotectures inevitably become objects for projection; mental projections may include thoughts about human creativity at the intersection between the possible and impossible, between technological progress and utopia.

'NEOTECTURE' is a neologism created for these works and was attained via modification of the term 'architecture' [ancient Greek language: 'archi-' ~ 'original (first in time), beginning, first cause, origin, ancient, primitive, from the beginning; most basic' | 'neo-' ~ 'new, recent, current, young'].
