In recent years, Florian Amoser has devoted himself to imagining, prototyping, and building Splicer, an imaging device of his own design. His efforts serve as a political act to reclaim control over the representation of his surroundings. Employing his new photographic apparatus enables Amoser to explore different aspects of human perception, rather than relying solely on commercially available products with their own inherent biases, constraints, and limitations. Splicer reconstructs three dimensional objects, lending their visual appearance and texture to create new visual matter. Images produced with Splicer are abstract yet concrete, and possess an infinite quality. According to Amoser, “Splicer enables new possibilities for representing and understanding the world. Creating new visual matter through sampling elements from different sources opens up the potential for more dynamic and flexible forms of representation and indexicality that may respond to the complexities and multiplicities of the world around us. The photograph becomes the reality and the physical scene is perceived as a performance for the camera.״
