Charles Negre

Charles Negre Work from Models. “…The idea of Terra Incognita and scientific exploration is at the heart of these projects.It is a constant search consisting in attempting to give depth and scale to landscape-objects made exclusively in studio. How by artificial reproduction might one get closer to nature’s perfection? Every photograph begins as an object, […]

Mathieu Bernard-Reymond

Mathieu Bernard-Reymond Work from Monuments “I use different types of economic graphs (projections, stock analysis models, financial results …) to produce plastic forms, architectural accident. This information is forcibly displaced in the field of sculpture and landscape. Monuments in, I think there is any doubt about what to make of these forms raised in the […]

Alterazioni Video

Alterazioni Video Work from Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow. “Alterazioni Video is a group of five artists who have been working together for six years, and are currently located in Milan, New York and Berlin. The distances between the various members of the group and their constant movements have made communications between them – mostly […]

Stephan Tillmans

Stephan Tillmans Work from “Luminant Point Arrays (leuchtpunktordnungen)“. “The Luminant Point Arrays show tube televisions in the moment they are swithed off. The television picture breaks down and creates a structure of light. The pictures refuse external reference and broach the issue of the difference between abstraction and concretion in photography. The breakdown of the television […]

Florent Meng

Florent Meng Work from Wanderer’s Sculptures. “The Sculptures of the Walker represent a photographic suite presented as digital prints and published in a set of 12 booklets. The images are meant as short sequences circling around their subjects. They indeed propose several viewpoints of undefined places and objects occupying a position of transitional disuse. These […]

Colin Doyle

Colin Doyle Work from his oeuvre. “I am an artist. I make pictures of commonplace objects—a diaper, a skyscraper, dirt. My days are spent in an image-saturated culture and a densely populated city. I often feel like I am in over my head, as if my actions, my existence, and my work are of little […]

Amie Siegel

Amie Siegel Work from Black Moon. “The centerpiece of this three-part work is “Black Moon,” a partial remaking of Louis Malle’s 1975 film of the same title. A present-day science-fiction without dialogue, Siegel’s “Black Moon” traverses multiple film tropes – action, guns, lonely campfires, the end of the world – and, like its band of […]

Brian Khek

Brian Khek Work from his oeuvre. “Interpreting our relationship with information as a visual spectrum of didactic signifiers, the images in my work subjugate and expand physical experiences simultaneously. The fixed image inherently rephrases an experience. Documentation of this work is not interchangeable with the original object. It instead behaves as a different language through […]

Corinne Vionnet

Corinne Vionnet Work from Photo Opportunities. “For most, to sightsee is to photograph. Embarking on treasure hunts to tourist destinations renowned for monuments of grandeur, we pursue the extraordinary. Framing sites of mass tourism in our viewfinders, we create photographic souvenirs that are integral to the touristic experience. These products, coined “photograph-trophies”i by Susan Sontag, separate […]

Thomas Bayrle

Thomas Bayrle Work from his oeuvre. “There is an obsessive and darkly visionary quality about much of Bayrle’s work but, crucially, there is also plenty of wry humour and pleasure in the absurd and the idiotic. Contrary to the visually pluralistic tendencies of other artists with mixed allegiances to Pop and Conceptual art as well […]
