PICTUREPEOPLE is an independent artistic (monthly) e-mail project by Rüdiger Heinze (writer) and Kristofer Paetau (visual artist) without any commercial purpose. It concentrates on the human representation in found amateur photography. The photographs become part of fictions – due to their re-contextualisation – and reveal different phenomena in human representation, interrogating mainly cultural and social issues, thus making connections to other fields of representation.
In »The Rising Dog« (2003) a German shepherd, standing beside the driver, is riding in a white Mercedes. The dog rises through an opening in the car up to the top of the roof. After a little while the dog disappears back in the car.
In »The Doves« (2002) three white doves are sitting on a traffic light. With every colour appearing on the traffic light a pair of doves- eyes starts glowing powerfully in the same colour, looking down to the drivers.
In »Saladfield as big as a sky-scraper building« (2001) 10.000 lettuces were grown right beside a sky scraper building, on a 1200m²- field as big as the frontal fasçade. After a growing period of 5 weeks the salad heads were ready for harvest. They were given to the local inhabitants during a one week harvest period. Both projects by Helmut Dick.
