Arne Maasik “NYC Shots” (2016), 83X103 cm, fototrükk kangal
/—/ In Maasik’s photos, New York is revealed more as a state of mind than a city. Here, a building is not just a thing or object, but a concept of an object. According to Wittgenstein: a circumstance is the relation between things. And so, Maasik’s pictures change architecture into “architexture”, a certain kind of “archi-écriture”. Joseph Brodsky’s thought that viewing can be transformed into reading comes to mind. Each Maasik photo is like a sentence. Wittgenstein: “A sentence is a description of some circumstance.”
