Crossover Photographs by Daniel Völker

The term Crossover refers to the idea of combining two different genres with each other. This series creates a dialogue between a famous historical painting and a modern sensual photograph. However, the concept does not merely entail the combination of different genres of art. The artist takes up the painter’s concept and tries to incorporate the situation displayed in the painting into a story. What results is the Crossover series. Daniel Völker tries to grasp the painter’s actual fantasy. He frees the historical painting from all taboos to reveal the actual idea the painter may have had and the thus connected sensuality. As the photograph describes the painter’s dream or fantasy, it is displayed blurred. Both worlds – the painter’s restrained fantasy and his actual desire – melt into a new piece of art. This way, the painter’s idea is transferred to modern times.
