In 2001, I spent two months in Capetown as a fellow of the iaab (known today as Atelier Mondial). The Woodstock and Observatory neighborhoods, in which I travelled a lot, are formerly \u2018white\u2019 neighborhoods where the population became racially mixed after the abolition of apartheid. Single-family houses are the rule, many with flower-adorned front gardens and signs bearing warning about dogs and alarm systems.<\/p>

In the local stationer\u2019s shop I came across carbon paper for manuscript copies, something I hadn't seen in a long time. The copy-drawings are based on photos from the time of the scholarship. The drawings were then made again in Switzerland. They were shown the following year at the Brendan Bell-Roberts Gallery in Cape Town.<\/p>\",\r\n \"align\": \"top\",\r\n \"row\": 2,\r\n \"col\": 3,\r\n \"colspan\": 6,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 3,\r\n \"relid\": 5,\r\n \"frameOverflow\": \"\",\r\n \"absolute_position\": false\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"carousel\",\r\n \"cont\": \"\",\r\n \"align\": \"top\",\r\n \"row\": 3,\r\n \"col\": 3,\r\n \"colspan\": 6,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 3,\r\n \"relid\": 919,\r\n \"carousel_options\": {\r\n \"random\": false,\r\n \"autoplay\": false,\r\n \"showMultipleSlides\": false,\r\n \"freeScroll\": null,\r\n \"size\": \"aspectRatioOfFirstElement\",\r\n \"slidesWidth\": \"\",\r\n \"transition\": \"sliding\",\r\n \"loop\": \"1\",\r\n \"spaceBetween\": 0\r\n },\r\n \"carousel\": [\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"img\",\r\n \"attid\": 1062,\r\n \"cont\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/DaF-Capetown-1.jpg\",\r\n \"sizes\": {\r\n \"full\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/DaF-Capetown-1.jpg\",\r\n \"_1280\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/DaF-Capetown-1-1280x974.jpg\",\r\n \"_1024\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/DaF-Capetown-1-1024x779.jpg\",\r\n \"_768\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/DaF-Capetown-1-768x584.jpg\",\r\n \"_512\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/DaF-Capetown-1-512x390.jpg\",\r\n \"_265\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/DaF-Capetown-1-265x202.jpg\"\r\n },\r\n \"w\": 1559,\r\n \"h\": 1186,\r\n \"ar\": 0.76074406670943,\r\n \"alt\": \"\",\r\n \"caption\": \"

\u201cMarkus Schwander\u2019s method of transferring photographs into the medium of drawing has manifold consequences. A unification is achieved by the transformation of the photographic image into a stamp image and the subsequent copying, the intermediate values on the scale between very light and very dark being lost. Although the motifs still appear sculptural, at times they lean towards abstraction and approach the pictographic language of warning signs, nonetheless becoming no more legible. In fact, the effect is the opposite. The motifs become ambiguous images: a dog's head can turn into a flower and vice versa. Thus the contradictory nature of the flowers and warning signs is dissolved into (nightmarish) dream images in a hallucinatory game of deception. Idyll and danger become matters of subjective perception in the drawings, without a blind eye being turned on the social realities of South Africa.\u201d

Capetown revisited,<\/span> drawing traced with carbon paper, je ca. 40 x 30 cm, 2025 \/ 2026<\/span><\/p>\"\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"text\",\r\n \"cont\": \"

In 2025, I rediscovered drawings from the \u201cDogs & Flowers\u201d series, some of which had never been completely finished, while others seemed to me to be more like by-products of the main series. I decided to revisit the issue and rework these remnants. I cut them up, collaged them, but also redrew them in the same way with the help of carbon paper. I used the photos from Cape Town from 2001 and also the black-and-white versions from back then, which I found on an old hard drive.<\/p>

In 2002, it seemed right to me to play on the contrast between the inviting, flower-decorated front yards and the forbidding \u201cBeware of the Dog\u201d signs with ironic lightness. Now, 25 years later, the world seems more confusing to me and contrasts are no longer so clear-cut. The revised drawings are therefore more confusing, perhaps even more aggressive. There are gaps to be found and the different shades of blue and variuos visual languages can no longer be grasped uniformly.<\/p>\",\r\n \"align\": \"middle\",\r\n \"row\": 7,\r\n \"col\": 3,\r\n \"colspan\": 6,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 3,\r\n \"relid\": 13,\r\n \"absolute_position\": false,\r\n \"frameOverflow\": \"\"\r\n }\r\n ]\r\n}","phonegrid":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/markusschwander.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1056"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/markusschwander.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/markusschwander.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markusschwander.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markusschwander.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1056"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/markusschwander.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1056\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markusschwander.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/markusschwander.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markusschwander.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1056"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markusschwander.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
