Assemblage
Assemblage
Assemblagen are small collages within found picture frames. Every element of these works has been sourced from a flea market in Switzerland or further afield. Wetter is drawn to the frames, but sometimes equally to the photographs he finds inside them. The frames are restored and an added graphic layer overlaid on the photographs inside – black diagrams which he has found in historic publications on subjects such as space travel, astronomy, astrology, medical and alchemy. The relationship between diagrams and the photographs is never quite clear: it could be that the diagram explains or predicts something illustrated in the human subject; maybe it shows an unseen formulaenergy fields. It is also a kind of a “lynchesque” story.
