Eyal Pinkas Work from the series Covers. “Under the conditions of the camera, objects and spaces reveal themselves in a gentle process of exposure. They perform a change, showing gradually different potential appearances that assumingly originate in their own fantasies. This search for the objects’ imaginable worlds within different surroundings has become a constant departure […]
Tom Sachs
Monday, 8 June 2009
Tom Sachs Work from his oeuvre. Tom Sachs work operates somewhere between fetishization and critique of objects of contemporary American desire. By reproducing these objects in readily available materials, using low-tech processes, Sachs is able to make the unattainable, attainable. However, because these reproductions are “Tom Sachs’”, and are therefore expensive, fine art objects, available […]

I couldn’t find a statement or review for Vahtra’s work, but I did not want that to stop me from posting it. Vahtra uses Xerox prints to create a false wall in the gallery and imply the space […]

Virginia Otth Work from Petites Définitions. Otth’s work addresses the technical aspects of photography in the digital age. After visiting her site I wished that I spoke French, or at least the Google Translate was a little more perfect. Either way, you must go to look at her work. Her work ranges from a scientific […]

Veronika Spierenburg Work from Newspaper no. 5 and Newspaper no. 4. “Veronika Spierenburg’s Newspapers series no. 4 + 5 are a playful dissection of spectacle as it exists in sports photography, not in an overly analytic way but as one disassembles a machine out of curiosity – to inspect and marvel at its parts. Spierenburg […]
