Anna Ostoya Work from Autopis: Notes, Copies and Masterpieces. “The complexity of a lived historical reality inevitably gets simplified through representation. On this fulcrum, Ostoya’s art operates critically. She purposefully creates oppositional binaries from her source materials, manipulating history in order to show how malleable and complex (rather than predetermined and fixed) it is. This […]

Naoya Hatakeyama Work from Tsunami Trees. “Tsunami Trees, which Hatakeyama has been working on since 2018 and has culminated in a photobook in 2024, is a group of works documenting the trees and landscapes left behind on the Pacific coast that retain the traces of the tsunami. In 2017, six years after the Great East […]

Yang Yongliang Work from Imagined Landscape. “Imagined Landscape is conceived during the pandemic. When the world turned black and white during the 2020/2021 COVID lock-down, I stayed in New York re-thinking about Shanghai. The pandemic has affected everybody in the world, even though we might not be able to articulate what’s been changed in us, […]

Gohar Dashti Work from Land/s. “Regardless of who we are, our lives are layered and richly textured with physical and figurative uprooting(s) and migrations.

Mishka Henner Work from Evaporation Ponds. “Evaporation Ponds presents the dazzling geometries of waste reservoirs created by natural gas production. Seen from above, their glowing expanses resemble luminous abstractions, recalling Colour Field painting or celestial photographs. Yet beneath this painterly surface lies a record of toxicity: landscapes engineered to dispose of industrial by-products, rendered strangely […]

Lawrence Lek Work from Nepenthe. “Nepenthe is an ongoing series of site-specific video games that explore themes of memory and identity in virtual worlds. Named after the fictional medicine for sorrow from Greek mythology, the installation was first realised at the 2021 Ljubljana Biennale within an ambient chill-out club environment.

Liz Nielsen Work from her Black & Whites. “Liz Nielsen’s innovative practice upends the traditional method of analog photography. Working in the color darkroom, she exposes light sensitive paper and processes it through conventional photographic chemicals, creating light-paintings by way of camera-less photography. Her photographs are made without a camera and can also be described […]

Sander Coers Work from POST. “POST explores the intersection of constructed memories and perceptions of masculinity in visual culture through the use of AI-generated imagery. With this project, I aim to investigate the role of photography in shaping our perceptions of the past and question its authenticity in the age of digitalism where memories can […]

Jesse Mockrin Work from The marks of a stranger at Nathalie Karg Gallery. “What makes Jesse Mockrin’s paintings sing is what she leaves out.
