A photographer keeps the light (coming or not from reality) and makes it intertact with other subtances and materials to create an object. This object can represent an image or something far more abstract. But in both cases, it can be powerful enough to trigger feelings, memories or ideas in the brain of the viewer.
Photography industry has shaped the way we use, see and produce photographs . So as a creator, it is liberating to work with the minimal and raw materials in photography. Using old processes in a new way expands your creativity without the limitations that the industry imposes.
As we explained on a previous post, our personal vision of what photography should be is closely related to the way we discover and understand the world. So, to expand our understanding, we need to expand what we can do with the medium.
The way we are using photography now comes from our ongoing investigation into the root of the medium. We will share this research with you via the internet, but of course, our goal is to show it in the flesh.
Now that unfortunately we are forced to "go virtual", we will use all the available physical opportunities to show the results of our research to anyone interested.
First meeting at Munich Highlights where our gallery in Munich, Ira Stehmann Fine Art will show for the first time two physical pieces made with a new mixture of processes along with new pieces from our ongoing series.
If you visit the fair, please let us know what you think!
