Diverse conversion processes with varying reality, space, and time-terms begin to take form through the pictorial yet simultaneously plastic qualities of these installation works: Beautiful things gets faced with odd things, easiness with significance, the surreal with everyday normality, romantic associativity with the apparently soulless sampling technique, seduction with the delightful. The subject of the quest appears in the work of Dahlem as a aesthetically relevant motive. With texts by Veit Loers, Dorothea Strauss, Yilmaz Dziewior and André Butzer.
