The latest glass mosaic works by Hajnalka Tarr (1977) at her exhibition In Vitro summarize her artistic propositions from the last three years. Departing from her interwoven photographs that explored the possibilities of photo-based visual- and self-representation, she has arrived at a new technique: also photo-based, repetitive mosaic image structures. The title of the exhibition refers to the procedure known from biology when the analysis takes place “in glass”, outside the living organism, similarly to Tarr’s visual thought experiments, which she realizes in the form of glass mosaics. By way of decomposition into elements, in other words, deconstruction, Tarr grounds her work on the tension between new visual qualities emerging from the recomposition of image fragments.
