Get closer to utopia.
One image shows the edge of a forest rendered in a digital collage as a dark, slightly blurred contour against a uniformly magenta background. The frame recalls weathered wood with cracks and irregular edges, yet is in fact a cast made of epoxy resin, finished in matte grey.
Konrad Hanke’s exhibition Fun without Suspicion at Galerie Kai Erdmann operates within a tension between visible form and diffuse content. The objects on view — among them fence slats, frame strips, and manhole covers — are based on a small number of distinct forms that, in their serial arrangement, generate a structured yet indeterminate space. Their surfaces are uniformly finished in matte grey, recalling the neutral rendering of objects in 3D software. The digital collages show details from historical depictions of Utopia taken from Thomas More’s 1516 book of the same name; the uniform magenta background marks missing or unassigned textures in 3D software, appearing wherever information cannot be loaded.
A further recurring element is the lettering „Mellow Fields“, borrowed from an advertising poster in Terry Gilliam’s 1985 film Brazil, promoting a resort with the slogan „Luxury without Fear – Fun without Suspicion – Relax in a Panic-free Atmosphere.“ In the exhibition, this slogan becomes both the title of the show and the name of an imaginary place. Fence, billboard, and manhole cover form a fictitious urban space assembled from repeated forms — hollow objects consisting essentially of their surfaces, moving between physical cast and digital model.
