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 […]

Beni Bischof

Beni Bischof Work from Bricked Castles. Translation from German with a word I don’t know, but I have translated regardless. If you can fix anything, feel free to let me know. “The longer I work on my artistic works, the more I sense a common thread, which shows myself. This involves the manipulation of things, […]

Fred Camper

Fred Camper Work from Figments. “Each “Figments” group is created from a single image, transformed into 47 lower resolution images or “elements,” which are made by using software to reduce it in size, and then re-enlarge it, by varying processes. These 47 images plus the original constitute the 48 “elements” from which each “Figments” group […]

Martina Shenal

Martina Shenal Work from Void Diaries. “The void diaries series was produced over the course of one year by photographing the space just beyond my second floor bedroom window. Made with a simple amateur point and shoot camera, the screen becomes a scrim and the point of focus fluctuates between the screen and the landscape. […]

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 […]

Justin James King

Justin James King Work from And Still We Gather With Infinite Momentum. “Justin James King radically intervenes in the common spectacle of the tourist vista by removing the view itself. A lone figure stands on a promontory gazing out into the utter void. Commenting on the reflexive act of looking (and by extension, on the […]

Devon Oder

Devon Oder Work from Breaking Light. “Oder’s recent work explores both the technical processes and the phenomenological experience of the viewer in relation to the medium of photography. Through imagery fluctuating between realism and abstraction, each photograph distorts the landscape, presenting a moment in time ungraspable. Without attempt to clarify but striving to further mystify, […]

Sarah Oppenheimer

Sarah Oppenheimer Work from various installations. I saw the Horizontal Roll installation in St. Louis about a year ago, it was a great piece that interacted extremely well with the environment. “Sarah Oppenheimer creates social experiments in her videos and architectural installations, exploring how individuals navigate constructed space. Folding is the primary exercise in Oppenheimer’s works […]

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 […]

Jeff Otto O’Brien

Jeff Otto O’Brien Work from Revaluations. “Photography is often seen as an individual endeavor concerned with the documentation of external ephemera and objects. Taking a photograph, as it were, is an intensional act for the photograph is of something- the photographic subject. This commonly held view of photography, which often goes hand-in-hand with the notion […]
