How do we relate to art – is it only the resulting work that speaks to us, or does the process behind an artwork matter to how we perceive it? The Swedish visual artist Andreas Ribbung presents a documentation of the painting processes behind his artworks. The reader can browse through different stages of the paintings and see how they emerge and transform. The visual imagery is accompanied by a curatorial text by the Czech artist and curator Alice Máselníková, an interview with the artist and a series of experimental poetic reflections that complement the paintings.

To be able to witness the process of how an artwork has come to life is not only special, but it also contributes to our deeper understanding of the artwork, and of the artist, his thoughts, conceptualisation and progress. For an artist to focus on the process can lead to better recognising his strengths and weaknesses, technical and conceptual developments, good or unfortunate steps that were taken and what effects they have had on the finished work, but also to gaining a better overall understanding of their own art practice. Ribbung’s fascination seems to be rooted in trying to capture the fluid uncountable possibilities of a painting: all those paths that a painting could have taken, but it has not. When did the decision point take place? Was this the best path – or was it the worst possible path taken? When does an artwork begin and end? (…) In a way it is a twisted version of a struggle towards perfection; obsessively documenting each step and comparing, judging and discussing what has never become…
