Teichmann's practice moves across the still and moving image, collage and painting, creating alternate worlds, which blur autobiography and fiction. Central to the work lies an exploration of the origins of fantasy and desire and how these are bound to experiences of loss and representation. Working with intimate subjects, both filmic works (with voice over narratives telling of the physical traces of grief) and silent still images of turned away bodies and mythical landscapes, work with the relationships between images, and the narratives these juxtapositions create.
Ideas of an impossible return, of grief and a sense of inherited home-sickness are returned to repeatedly within primordial spaces of enchantment.
Teichmann's utopian island-world lies somewhere between black and blue seas, between here and now and the fantasy of where one might go, or perhaps, even, where one has been. (Carol Mavor)
