Request: Andy (Warhol) at work on a large flower painting, the factory, NYC, spring 1965
“Dear David, looking for a photograph of an artist at work whose silhouette could ‘escape from’ the two-dimensionality of the photograph, I came across your Andy (Warhol) at work on a large flower painting. The intension is to produce a large-scale reproduction of this picture, cut out Andy, lift him up and integrate his erected figure into an urban setting.”

“In 1964 the photographer David McCabe was given the assignment of a lifetime when Andy Warhol hired him to follow him around New York and chronicle his exploits for a year, thereby participating in the manufacturing of Warhol’s public image and the enduring myth of downtown New York. […] McCabe shot thousands of black-and-white images that captured Warhol’s self-designed mythology in the making.” (Alex Vadukul, New York Times, 23. März, 2021)

Unter Realität verstehen wir vor allem Dinge, die im dreidimensionalen Raum existieren. Die Fotografie hingegen ist nur ein Abbild, ein Ausschnitt von etwas, das sich zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt tatsächlich vor der Kamera befunden hat. Lassen sich diese beiden Parameter, also das Zwei- und Dreidimensionale, jedoch auch miteinander verschränken, gibt es mithin eine Form des Dazwischen? Oder lässt sich der Prozess der Bildwerdung vielleicht sogar wieder umkehren? Mit Set (Up) wird jedenfalls der Versuch unternommen, den Dargestellten in einer Art Vexierbild von der schwarzweißen Archivaufnahme zurück in die heutige Wirklichkeit zu transferieren, um ihm und seinen Ideen damit (wieder) Raum zu geben.
