SEBASTIAN DENZ
DADA POST Nordbahnstr. 10 13409 Berlin Allemagne
DADA POST is proud to present photographer and artist Sebastian Denz's first solo exhibition in Berlin, entitled SKATEBOARDING.3D. For almost three years Sebastian Denz has been traveling across Europe to shoot a series of 3D photographs with more than 20 members of the carhartt skateboard team. The result of his work is a series of spatial photographs in a quality never seen before. For his project SKATEBOARDING.3D, Denz developed a unique 8 x 10 inch large-format-stereo-camera, built by his colleague and custom camera specialist Dr. Kurt Gilde. SKATEBOARDING.3D is about space in a phenomenological sense and about human beings creating their own construction of reality within these spaces. Denz seeks to: "Bring up for discussion a hybrid space that is in between virtual and real - a 'Postvirtual Space'." The exhibition shows some of the professional skaters in the 'real hyper-reality' of life-sized high-resolution 3D-images.
With his work SKATEBOARDING.3D, Sebastian Denz won the 20th International BFF Promotion Award 2008. The work was presented at the Visual Gallery at Photokina in 2008, at SCOPE New York art fair and in several exhibitions.
Sebastian Denz, born 1974, studied architecture, photography and fine arts in Hanover and Bielefeld, Germany. He lives and works in Hamburg.
