Facettierungen: Bewegung, Raum, Zeit und Erzählung in David Hockneys Joiner Photographs
David Hockney's joiner photographs are images between single image and sequence, which in their interplay create a spatial and temporal impression of what is to be seen. The picture ensembles are at the same time monoscenic and polychronic, they show spatiotemporal breaks and let relations turn unstable. Individual photographs are thus combined into complex pictorial structures that open up new semantic fields and invite narrativization. The author reads the joiners with Deleuze's theories of the movement-image and time-image and discusses the extent to which narrative is inherent in them.
