From the Pictus interruptus series, this 1979 photograph shows Metzker moving toward a more fragmented and abstract photographic language. Made in Mykonos, it does not present the island as a scenic view, but as a field of interrupted forms: white walls, sharp shadows, railings and flashes of architectural detail.

The composition is held together by a powerful sense of rhythm. Dark horizontal lines cut across the image, while a large soft-edged shape in the foreground interrupts the view and turns the photograph into an active study of looking. Space is not simply opened to the viewer; it is partially blocked, redirected and made uncertain.

This tension is central to the series. Metzker is interested in the moment when perception is disturbed, when the eye cannot immediately settle into a single, stable reading. The photograph moves between description and abstraction, between the physical brightness of the Greek setting and the almost sculptural presence of shadow.

Light becomes the true subject. It cuts through walls, flattens surfaces, deepens recesses and gives the whole image a tactile force. The ordinary elements of a Mediterranean street or terrace are transformed into a precise arrangement of planes and intervals.

79 DA-15 is a quiet but highly sophisticated example of Metzker’s late experimental vision. Rather than recording a place, it turns that place into a visual problem: how to see, how to frame, and how interruption itself can become form.
