Aimee Brodeur Work from Sculptures and Diary. There was no text to be found about this work, but they function so well as photo sculptures I wanted to share them. I am particularly drawn to the process errors in these works as an aesthetic, but I am not sure if their intent moves beyond that. […]

Lacey Terrell Work from Offset. “In this series, I have used my experience as a still photographer on motion pictures as a starting point, but have turned my camera away from the action – off set.

Gert Jan Kocken Work from Judenporzellan. “Street photographers have only a vague notion of what they’re looking for.

Jason Lazarus Work from his oeuvre. “Regarding all photographic projects cumulatively, I am interested in the role of the contemporary artist as hell-raiser, prophet, failure, and historian. Whether it is the possibilities of the conceptual self-portrait, the awed irony of an American attending an airshow in 2006, or a picture of a picture, the photographic […]

Bernd Kleinheisterkamp Work from Stills and Things. “‘Stills and Things’ deals with the appearance of things. ‘Stills’ plays with the variety of possible ensembles that we identify and accept as a authentic, evident situation. Something that seems to make sense in its limits of time and context. ‘Things’ looks for the undeniable magic inherited in […]
