Paula Muhr

Paula Muhr Work from Tata. “Through the work “Tata” I investigate various modes of representation and role models which we internalise in such an extent that they inform our subjectivity. I turn my father (Serbian: tata) into a kind of amateur fashion model asking him to pose for me in his favourite clothes. He dresses […]

Bernd Kleinheisterkamp

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 […]

Uta Barth

Uta Barth I have been wanting to post Barth’s work for quite some time, I was a little shocked to find I hadn’t yet. “Color photography’s recent ability to rival painting in scale and stylistic range seemed particularly well exemplified by Uta Barth’s mid-’90s work from the “Ground” and “Field” series; in some images, she […]

Florian Slotawa

Florian Slotawa Work from Hotelarbeiten and others. “A nondescript zone lies close to the start of Kurfürstenstraße. This should be the core of the city. Neither entirely residential nor commercial nor administrative, this curiously neglected quarter of central Berlin exudes a sense of fun’s absence. It’s where Florian Slotawa likes to work. His new studio […]

Ulrich Görlich

Ulrich Görlich Work from 15 Landschaften. Görlich’s work is a kind of anti-portraiture/landscape that maintains powerful relevance 10 years after its initial creation. 15 Landschaften (15 Landscapes) is an exercise in meta-photographic seeing/thinking. This work calls to mind other photographers who share conceptual relationships with Görlich, but whose aesthetic is far more rooted in their […]

Georg Küttinger

Georg Küttinger Work from landscapes:remixed. “The presented „landscapes:remixed“ are reflecting landscape photography and the relation between landscapes and the perception of their spaces. The pictures assembled from single photos construct and design densified spaces – as possibilities of the landscapes they are based on, not as their depiction. The goal of the work is creating […]

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 […]

Claudia Angelmaier

Claudia Angelmaier Work from Works on Paper. I encountered Angelmaier’s work the other day at Galerie Alexandra Saheb, this work is (as I am sure has been said) strongly remiscent of Robert Heinecken’s Recto / Verso. Now, this is a very basic and aesthetic observation, as I think the conceptual concerns are different, albeit with […]

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 […]

Patricia Neligan

Patricia Neligan Work from Vorübergehend. “The starting point of my photographic art is the observation of people in relation to space.Here is definitely meant the ambiguity of the term „space“, incorporating both that of theconceptual and the real reference space. I try in my photographic work to create tensionbetween reproduction and the originality of the pictures […]
