“What do we actually see? What does the image we form say about reality? Laurenz Theinert does not provide answers to these questions. But in his works, he slows down the complex process of seeing, which normally takes place at breakneck speed and subconsciously, as if in slow motion, and focusses attention on individual aspects of what is happening.”
