In this hanging work OFF - WHITE MOON, the monochrome, dark surface of flat, square and juxtaposed ferrite magnets create a painterly effect. On the one hand, the material’s density creates a pulling, matt depth that draws the eye to the fine structures created by the cutting process of the individual panels. On the other hand, the surface simultaneously reflects the light off of the surrounding space. Depending on the incidence of light and the observer’s point of view, the compact material unfolds different color nuances and changes in blue and gray shades. Through the arrangement of the individual plates, Jaworski incorporates the system of the grid, as with AIRLINES, JUNE and SUNDAY, which can be infinitely extended and are visible here in a minimalist monochrome color. By lining up the tiles, the focus in OFF - WHITE MOON is laid on the inherent nature of the iron oxide ferrite magnets. Instead of an image, an object, a figuration, the pure material quality, freely unfolding in its depth and stimulating contemplation about perspectives, spatial perception and the cosmos, is brought to the center of attention.
