Moving Cities
In the utopian novella "The invisible cities" by Italo Calvino, the emperor Kublai Khan describes the fictive cities of his tartar empire and commissions Marco Polo to discover them: "On your journeys you are going to find out, if they exist." As a contemplator of the moving cities you almost feel challenged to do the same. What do these pictures show? What do these places hide?

The closer you move towards the works, the more they dissolve into opaque fields of colour, they appear as shapes of fictive painting. Werner Pawlok is travelling quite often and his projects lead him to cities all over the globe. Today, travelling whereever, has become self-evident daily routine, most of the time pinched between dates and driven by shortage of time. A glance out of the taxi replaces the individual exploration of urban spaces. The hasty and almost dreamlike experience of the foreign surroundings but also the anonymity of modern cityscapes become the main issue of Pawlok’s image series. For the moving cities, Pawlok uses a small digital camera, sometimes only the mobile phone, often prompted to do spontaneous snapshooting by just any random impulse. This is how he gets the raw material for an elaborate and often long working process. Like often within Pawloks photographic work a multilayer treatment, generating a complex image texture, is applied to the raw picture. Therefore, the flighty moment provides no random motive but constitutes the thematic underlayer of his works. In that sense the series moving cities also conceptualizes an anatomy of restlessness.
