Publisher Note

Sinje Dillenkofer solves the picture from an apparatus-based and dependent rectangular area dependency. She gives it a different, mostly concentric, circular shape. The circular, square or extremely rectangular photographic paper image is drawn onto a three-dimensionally structured plastic image carrier.
For her new photographic work, she chooses the naked human body and individual limbs, such as hands, stretched out or clenched into fists, and legs, which she uses in multi-part pictorial elements with the corpus, among others, as a torso. In the full-length works, whether in a stooped or upright posture, standing or striding gesture, in the works that show limbs, the photographic image and the three-dimensional carrier object form a unit of form that reciprocally interacts and thereby reinforces the intent of the content. The abandonment of photographic image space increases the modeled plasticity of the physical, which is shaped by light and shadow, to the reification of the content, which gains an autonomous quality in it.

With this, Sinje Dillenkofer takes a step of great importance for the history and development of photography. It leaves the framework of the image function of the photographic image and replaces it with an objectively defined image as an autonomous object.
