The term dissolution runs like a red thread through the entire work of Peter Baldinger (*1958). The word itself is polysemic: it has the meanings of “dissolving” in the sense of a physical disintegration and is synonymous with ending or Picking up something. One also speaks of the digital image resolution as a measure of the quality of a raster graphic – the sum of the layers of meaning is explicitly expressed in Baldinger’s series low_resolution. In addition, crystallized in his work the group of works diffusion years ago. In it, the artist puts the limits of the visual recognizability of a pictorial object to the test by looking at it as if through a fluted glass pane. Just as the word “resolution” ultimately stands for “the solution or elucidation of a riddle or secret”, Baldinger’s works address the viewer’s need to name, decipher and decipher the alienated subject to categorize.
