Yola Monakhov Work from Once Out of Nature. “My work deals with human drama from the point of view of its minor players. I photograph people, landscapes, architecture, parks, animals, and streets – locales and actors animated by difficult desires, comforts and resentments, spiritual longing, promises of amends, and a feeling of exile. I approach my […]

Asger Carlsen Work from “O“. “Asger Carlsen continues with great lucidity and dazzling talent his personal survey on the perception of reality and the common acceptation of so-called normality. With slight deviations of sense, images result in lightening emotional stories, film frames able to dig into the unconscious, moving revelations as involuntary reactions, hints and […]

New Catalogue (Luke Batten and Jonathan Sadler) Works from Color Theory for the Economist and Nine Portraits of Patrick Swayze. “New Catalogue is an artists’ collaborative that adopts the model of a stock photo agency, presenting thematic series of images with the crisp aesthetic and pared-down descriptive titles of their commercial prototypes. Yet the artists […]

Amy Stein Work from Domesticated. As with many of my weekend posts, you probably do (or should) know of Stein’s work. “My photographs serve as modern dioramas of our new natural history. Within these scenes I explore our paradoxical relationship with the “wild” and how our conflicting impulses continue to evolve and alter the behavior […]

Anoush Abrar Work from Californication. “The film studios, the celebrities, the entertainment capital of the UnitedStates- the state of California revolves around the film industry and its success. Projecting an image of fame and fortune, beauty and happiness, Hollywood draws people like a magnet. I started this photo project in Los Angeles because I wanted […]

Erik Dalzen Work from Commodities. Active auctions here.  “Commodities is a collaborative project between me and spirited bidders. Art pieces are created based on specific marketable goods and cater to niche audiences of collectors and enthusiasts. The works are then exhibited on the auction website, eBay, under search terms that coincide with the vernacular from […]

Reiner Riedler Work from Fake Holidays. “When wishes are out of reach, simulation is taking over our leisure time and our holidays. Imaginary worlds are created, often under massive technological exertion, in order to offer us experience as reproducible merchandise. Although the quality of these adventures on demand sometimes proves to be rather dubious, the […]

Brad Moore Work from his oeuvre. “These photographs were shot in modest, well-worn, suburban cities in central and inland Southern California. Built in the 50s and 60s, these cities provided a new home and future to a post-war population. While Southern California’s coastal cities flourish, cities in these inland counties struggle. Future prosperity and civic […]

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 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 […]
