Christine Rusche

Christine Rusche Work from Fictional Landscapes. These images are a really interesting combination of Ulrich Görlich’s 15 Landschaften and Gerhard Richter’s Overpainted Photographs. There is something quintessentially German about the hand drawn intervention into the landscape that I find remarkably appealing. These works speak about ideas of landscape and development in a way that is […]

All taken from YouTube.com and put back as a response to the original footage. Second version, 2008. _________________ One frame from the film Cast-Away (dir.

Shigeru Takato

Shigeru Takato Work from Our Elusive Cosmos. “These are photographs of landscapes on Earth relating to the exploration of space and our cosmos. These relations could be scientific, mythological, factual, or religious. We often analyse, philosophise and romanticise our cosmos. Our knowledge of it is limited and much remains unknown and a mystery. In the […]

Brookhart Jonquil

Brookhart Jonquil Work from On the Einstein Podolsky Rosen Paradox (where each of the six pages of Bell’s Theorem is crumpled up identically) and Untitled (Essay Without Words no. 1 + no.2). “Brookhart Jonquil’s work, On the Einstein Podolsky Rosen Paradox, confounds our sense of time and space, working off the assumption that crumpling a […]

Sofia Hultén

Sofia Hultén Work from Points in a Room Condensing. “Sofia Hultén tries in her work to repair things that are broken, or alternately, to make them disappear. Rarely are these two objectives achieved independently, so that the focus of her videos and photographs becomes instead the circular process of making and unmaking of a series […]

Hank Schmidt in der Beek

His automated painting technique is a process-driven method that brings paintings seen in documentaries about […]

Tim Horntrich and Jens Wunderling

Tim Horntrich and Jens Wunderling. Work from self.detach. “„self.detach“ is a monolithic object, not serving the purpose of analyzing the data by quantity, but following a critical design approach. The Flickr live photo stream is constantly downloaded, all currently posted images moving through the beholders’ field of vision on a small display.Those images tagged with […]

Florian Maier-Aichen

Florian Maier-Aichen Work from his oeuvre. “…the artist continues to sublimate the rigid constraints of conventional landscape photography, contextualizing his imagery according to the constant tension between its specificity and theatricality. Often using elevated perspectives as a starting point, Maier-Aichen reconfigures elements of the landscape into a new kind of formalism. Incorporating the hidden beauty […]

Sascha Weidner

Sascha Weidner Work from Beauty Remains. “Sascha Weidner looks for the Beautiful amongst the Everyday. His large-and small-format, spontaneous or staged, colour photographs present landscapes, still lives and people. At first glance, these motifs may appear banal: thickets, shrubs, flowerbeds, lakes, gravel, house walls, empty spaces, curtains, cloths, tarpaulins, and rubbish. People are shown in […]

Barbara Breitenfellner

Barbara Breitenfellner. Work from Collages. “(…) One could say that Barbara Breitenfellner essentially „exhibits exhibitions“, every installation becoming an exhibition in itself, like those we can find in crappy private collections, in strange American suburban museums or even in trendy art galleries. For her show at CAPRI, the artist presents printed works for the first […]
