“‘The Black Hit of Space’ is an Experiment, an experimental Design Set Up in order to find out what emerges from the close Collaboration between a Photographer, an Ex-Writer and an Artist. What happens, if three individual forms of artistic Expression co-occupy a Space? And, what if the title ‘The Black Hit of Space’ serves as the Inspiration to the Project? The Outcome is a room-encompassing Installation - both attacking and absorbing. An interplay of Forces, that distinctively continues in our further Projects.”

Excerpt from Richard Prince: The Perfect Tense, Why I Go to the Movies Alone
Co-Creation with Berlin based Photographer Roman März.
‘She had to be condensed and inscribed in a Way that his Expectations of what he wanted her to be, {and what he wanted to be too} could at least be possibly, even remotely, realized. Overdetermination was Part of his Plan and in a strange Way, the same kind of psychological After-Life was what he loved, sometimes double loved about her Picture.’ Richard Prince: The Perfect Tense, Why I Go to the Movies Alone, Tanam Press, N.Y. 1983
