Overview

A genetic structure or genealogical inscription operates in Fritze's 'collage environments'. By unfolding an ordering principle, not from an originary milieu but as if through a series of distressed fragments (especially human ones) in the replicant lives of photographs and television, Fritze's exploded image-banks reproduce themselves as cultural 'gardens'. Like climbers, they crawl up pillars or splay out in strands over the ground, feelers of little intensities cropping up everywhere. The atomized detail, carrying the variable ingrained motif, intersects at base to produce a totalised 'disorder'. The rest of the world is scattered at the boundary of each individual. These 'Iaboratia' (Fritze studied biology and media) are indicators of an aesthetic of exceptions and models (art), composing and decomposing accumulations that archive the reflex to collect. Fritze culls from experience, collecting data from his research methodologies (in gene regulation; in higher plants, he had during this period studied the impact of microwaves emitted from cellular phones on the gene
