Andreas Schulze is presenting “U.S. TRILOGY I, Vegas”. The series of inkjet prints made in 2006/07 is based on collective images and subjective narration, but evades any obvious orientation on a plot. No story is told here; it is more a matter of dissolving concrete structures of action and – in relation to this to this – of producing void symbols and references. Neither the depicted destruction of a house front nor the various male portraits offer us any information about who is acting here, in whose name, and why.

What remain are doubt, perhaps a basic pessimistic mood, and possibly the challenge to search for the correct contexts. It seems as if the streets, cities, houses, arising and departure, interrogation and espionage, the persecutors and the persecuted have the same vanishing point: Vegas.

Andreas Schulze, born in Leipzig in 1965, studied fine art at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig.
