Nothing is as it seems at first; everything is in process and thus in change. Experimental Photography in the Digital Age.

Experimental Fine Art Photography a Metaphor of Change.

A digital photography is a light image and a data image. As a result, it is material of different systems. It is a preliminary image, a foil of our pictorial perception. A mirror is held up to our perception. This always means our perception is in process. As in painting, photography is also about ideas of reality. The camera loses the character of an objective recorder of factual truths in this case.

In order to gain new perspectives, it sometimes helps to destroy familiar ways of seeing in the figurative sense, to think visually in processes, not in states. Ursa Schoepper as an artist this means, for example, that she is destroying a photographic image by transformation, that she has previously taken. In other words, through a new algorithmic ordering structure, arriving at a new seeing and visual order. First of all, it is a search for the ideal of the formula of an internal order. An inner order that holds everything together, that describes an ideal whole. Nature, with its beneficial growing structures, is, for example, an ideal all-encompassing pattern.

We see in the result as experimental photographic art something that we could not perceive in this order before. It is something that was already possibly included in digital photography. Photography thus becomes shapeable matter. An algorithmic ordering system that underlies digital photography as a grammar leaves a new constructive substantive order through transformation.

Creatively following an artistic idea, Ursa Schoepper is developing autonomous photographic artworks. Her artistic work can also be called conceptual work with photographic material. As a phantom of light and a digital structure, photography becomes the carrier of a visual vision. Light image simultaneously data image form the design of another possibility, a virtual reality in a realistic reality.

Ursa Schoepper uninterrupted work of seeing is noted by means of a photograph of the intensity of her senses, and is transformed through creative work of her mind, her soul. It is the modification of the optical impression of the world of objects through a transcendent mathematics of the soul. That is the prerequisite for her artistic work. The limitless beauty of creation, its inherent formal order makes her search for the formula of perfection.

Miles Davis once said, "Wayne Shorter was curious, he liked to experiment with musical rules. If they didn't fit, he sat down, but with a musical feeling; he knew that freedom in music requires knowledge of its rules to bend them to your own taste and needs." As an experimental photo artist, that's spoken from the soul Ursa Schoepper. For Ursa Schoepper, freedom of art means precise knowledge of the technical and artistic rules in order to be able to remain sensitive to the soul and spirit in the artistic process.
