Maybe, 2024
Framed photo and permanent marker on passepartout paper
50 × 70 cm
Maybe shows two people in a small-format photo booth portrait. The disproportionately large passe-partout constructs an open space that symbolises the many possibilities: Who are these people? What future did they step into after this unique moment was captured? The realm of imagination and supposed certainty is finite, as the unabashedly left-behind ‘Maybe’, which calls everything into question, makes clear. We will never know what happened to the two smiling people because the infinite possibilities can never be grasped.
Maybe, was part of Friedrich Andreoni's solo show “Remember me when you enter your Kingdom” at Galerie Met for the Berlin Art Week, curated by Philipp Lange.
