Another Day (Simultaneous Record of the Sun Rising and Setting in Two Opposite Locations On The Globe – South East Australia and West Azores)

Neudecker’s interest in landscape and nature has been influenced by the artistic, philosophical, historical, and political dimensions of the Romantic Sublime, as represented by Northern European landscape painting of the 19th century. Paintings by Schinkel, Friedrich, Dahl, among others, have been a strong influence on Neudecker’s practice, the point of departure of which is the idea of reproducing an experience of a given reality through the means of depiction and simulation. While some of the artists earlier works are inspired or refer to actual paintings or photographs and as such, become three dimensional representations of an already perfected representation of reality, Neudecker’s more recent body of work, rather engages with her direct experience of a chosen landscape and the limits of perception.

Another Day (Simultaneous Record of the Sun Rising and Setting in Two Opposite Locations On The Globe – South East Australia and West Azores), 2000 is based on the idea of a deliberate disregard to space and time. By bringing together two otherwise isolated blocks of time, the work questions notions of perception and illusion, which occur as a consequence of reality representation. The simultaneous video recording presents us with an endless video loop of an unerupted sunrise and sunset. Using the romantic sublime aesthetic, Neudecker touches upon the issue characteristic of our present digital age, broking away from traditional understanding of time and place and times linearity.
