Associative word chains consisting of orphaned words, whose original context can be found in the immediate experience, predominantly form the impulse for Hong Mönch’s (*1980) paintings. These word chains serve as keys to the motifs, become search items on the internet, for the library’s archival engine or for the own inner world. What remains are the painted images, motifs arranged on black jeans fabric, which seem to float or to show themselves as an excerpt of something larger and by doing so, turning the black of the fabric into a frame mark. A game between source and interpretation is inherent in the works, performs fragmentation, condensation and senseless orientation on an ever black background.
