Hans-Christian Schink

Hans-Christian Schink Work from 1h. ““1 h” was a long term project which German photographer Hans-Christian Schink undertook in 2003. The result of the project – a photography series – consists of two parts each made up of 12 photographs taken in different places in the northern and southern hemispheres. The images depict the “movement” […]

Marlon Kowalski

Marlon Kowalski Work from Plates. From what I can gather given the lack of contextual information on Kowalski’s Plates work, it is examining the nature of reproduction and photographic fidelity. The photograph, and photographed object hang side-by-side, now related to one another physically through the compelling referential reproduction and the existence of the “original”. This […]

Petra Cortright

Petra Cortright Work from Male Female Child. There is a rather informative interview here. Her ANIM8D GIF work is also interesting, but I could not practically replicate the context. Check them out and you will understand. “Her reference points (cats, dogs, psychedelia, youtube, geocities, and so on) are all things very near to our hearts, […]

Stefan Heyne

Stefan Heyne Work from The Noise. Heyne’s work falls into the tradition of out-of-focus German photography that stands in sharp contrast to work from the Dusseldorf school. Heyne’s photographs lack a point of focus, or if I were to assume his intentions, serve to challenge sharpness as the default state of focus. In many ways, […]

Bettina Pousttchi

Bettina Pousttchi Work from Starker Staat. “The very title and alliteration of Starker Staat( Strong state) evoke ominous associations from national security to other things. This series of photographs, taken in Cologne in 2003 and first exhibited at the Württembergischer Kunstverein in Stuttgart that same year, presents a cinematographic sequence that reinforces these alarming associations […]

Thomas Demand

Thomas Demand Work from his oeuvre. Also check out his work for After the Imperial Presidency. “A dozen years ago, Thomas Demand, whose generally stellar midcareer retrospective opens today at the Museum of Modern Art, was studying in London, at Goldsmiths College, then the hotbed of the British art scene. He hit upon the idea […]

Sebastian Lemm

Sebastian Lemm Work from Lapse. “As a photo-based artist, I see myself as the link between two realities—the one outside of the camera and the one that begins once the photograph has been taken. Rather than documenting or ‘capturing the moment,’ I want to show what is not immediately visible. My work is informed by […]

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 […]
