ABSTRACT

Since the scientific discoveries to capture what lies beyond on the far side of our visible range and beyond the surfaces, the possibilities for photography in an artistic context have expanded constantly. With the insight into artistic research in the field of scientific imaging technologies, in particular thermography, the author proposes a new visual genre beyond the visible spectrum. To elucidate the claims, the author describes her artistic research in depth, discussing different stages of development and creative decisions.
