Cara Barer My photographs are primarily a documentation of a physical evolution. I have changed a common object into sculpture in a state of flux. The way we choose to research and find information is also in an evolution.
Astrid Korntheuer As one of Korntheuer's most emotional series, the photographs of Glör also reflect this planned transience in their gloomy coloring, which bode ill. The artist herself calls it the slate of waiting for a certain loss, the melancholy of the inevitable.
Cybele Lyle While much of my work is concerned with loss in terms of people, relationships and community, there are also pieces that focus more on place. These speak to the subjective relationships we have with our neighborhoods, architecture, and surroundings.
Thomas Misik For the space, man is a complication. The space has to fear man’s presence. Misik’s images show the interior as sculpture. They follow an artificial logic. The title “or space” consistently omits its natural alternative. It remains unnamed. The space remains unpopulated. Man stands in front of it, lurking, but the pic-ture does not let him in, thankfully.
Lydia Panas She says about her work: My subjects are people I know. When I meet with them, these rela-tionships already have a past. Through the details, I want to describe who they are. I look for depth, and con-tradiction in the faces. It is a combination of strength and vulnerability that makes me respond. Sometimes secrets are our most telling feature.
Joachim Schulz Irrespective of whether he photographs sealed bunkers, empty display cases with no notic-es in them, or closed cinema curtains,
Joachim Schulz’ series on specific topics are often redolent with refusal or barricades. Silent surfaces fascinate him. Using his camera he induces them to whisper, talk, to engage in visual communication.
Flavia Söllner Sollner's photographs utilize the lost arts of mystery and allure that is all but absent in the current climate of over-exposed, Juergen Teller and American Apparell campaigns. Using nighttime as a veil, Sollner strategically lifts the darkness to show us the mysterious goings-on of her dark fancy. And although her work is very cinematic and even sinister, it is often described as 'fairy-tale'.
