Oh my back, my back, my Bach! (James Joyce in Finnigans Wake) The photographic undertaking is about the composer Johann Sebastian Bach, his works and their performances in Leipzig at the Bachfest. Photography as generator of associative image spaces refers to contemplative conditions of persons, spaces and objects which are adversed contrapuntally to rhythm, pause, noise, movement and stand stills. The expansion of the representation of different times in the picture is shown in the integrated screen printing texts in the pictures.
