Carlo Van de Roer

Carlo Van de Roer Work from Orbs and Blinded by the Light. Van de Roer has some amazing, critical, and conceptual projects that cover a wide range of photographically-specific commentary. I advise you to peruse his website. There is also a great interview / article from Pilot Magazine about Blinded by the Light that you […]

Matten Vogel

Matten Vogel Work from Zensiert (Censored). The diptychs are my doing for formatting reasons. “Censorship is the reverse of liberty. It means repression. Involves the suppression of all form of self-determined thoughts and comments by controlling authorities that are higher placed in the hierarchy. It can be instituted by the government or – you only […]

Michael Corridore

Michael Corridore Work from Angry Black Snake. “Michael Corridore’s project, Angry Black Snake, is an exercise in minimalism. Each image has been pared down to the barest of elements—urgent gestures and barely traceable figures cloaked in smoke and dust. Yet each image pulses with palpable emotional tension, telegraphed by these barest of representational sketches and […]

Gerhard Richter

Gerhard Richter Work from Overpainted Photographs. “A less well known aspect of the work of Gerhard Richter, the ‘overpainted photographs’ are not simply an answer to those who feared that photography had murdered painting, but an integrated work of material and colour. Countering the imposing format of his better-known paintings, these small overpainted photographs (mostly […]

Trine Søndergaard and Nicolai Howalt

Trine Søndergaard and Nicolai Howalt Work from Tree Zones. You have probably come across Howalt’s Car Crash Studies that made the blog rounds a few months ago. Go to both of their websites, you won’t regret it. “TREE ZONES is a photographic exploration of the Nordic landscape and ways in which we relate to it. […]

AnnieLaurie Erickson and Everett Lawson

AnnieLaurie Erickson and Everett Lawson. Work from A Slip of Memory. My first thoughts about this work were “badass”. A Slip of Memory is a phenomonal integration of science, optics, and art which explores how the eye functions and how it affects our perception (something I am working on from a vastly different perspective).  “Colors, […]

Lee Gainer

Lee Gainer Work from Group Therapy. “We have a tendency to seek out others with similar interests and ideas. Within these found groups, we can discover a place to belong, to be ourselves. When these ideas or interests require a certain uniform, whether for safety reasons or a consistent visual appearance, it serves to underscore […]

Krista Wortendyke

  Krista Wortendyke Work from (Re:) Media. This is fascinating work about appropriation, photo history, media consumption, etc. It runs the gamut of critical analysis / critique about photography. I strongly recommend you look at Histortical Intervention as well. “Although most of us have never experienced war, we are surrounded by its imagery. This project […]

Odette England

Odette England Work from Attentional Landscapes. “The Ishihara Colour Test is the most common clinical test for colour blindness in humans. But, like mirages and memories, the circles of randomised dots are just optical phenomena. In this series, Odette England undertakes quasi-scientific experiments in manipulating the intended meaning and function of family photographs. Selectively and […]

Yogi Proctor

Yogi Proctor Work from Twenty Eight Portraits. “Twenty Eight Portraits engages the materiality of a set of public-domain press photographs to intentionally expose the gamut of everyday photographic functionality. Twenty Eight Portraits uses individual photographs of the entire presidential cabinet, which have been ripped roughly in half. The rip both figuratively and literally removes the […]
