Publisher Note
Hop On Hop Off
The photographs in Volker Renner’s artist’s book “Hop On Hop Off” were taken during sightseeing tours through big cities. Boarding a variety of tourist buses, the artist transforms into a mobile surveillance camera that negates sights and trains its lens on moving targets. In the perspective of the wheeled flaneur, the cityscape’s impervious surfaces fuse into an amalgam of pedestrians, car hoods, and asphalt, for which fossilized sunshine was cast into its definitive form. Renner sends concrete studies rather than picture postcards and Captcha images rather than Instagram motifs, blurring the distinction between human and machine and leaving the beholder dizzy and disoriented.
