Niklas Goldbach’s video installation ALBUM (cut together – cutting through) consists of every photograph taken by the artist since December 2013, in chronological order up to the present day. The work compiles more than 120,000 photographs into a fast-paced, immersive image stream: 12 photographs per second, each visible for only two frames. Constantly evolving and updated for each new presentation, the video currently runs for around 140 minutes.

The photographic series Album Covers is derived directly from this flow. A cover emerges whenever landscape and portrait format meet: two consecutive photographs, taken one after the other in different orientations, are brought together and shown at the same time—overlapping in a single image. In this way, the stream is momentarily compressed into a collision of formats, echoing the superimposed perception produced by the installation itself.
Each Album Cover is generated from a specific moment in the image stream: a distinct pairing of two consecutive photographs, with no two covers identical. The prints have the size of a 12” record cover (approx. 31 × 31 cm).
