« Il n’y a pas de faits, seulement des interprétations ». Friedrich Nietzsche
La photographie est une question de point de vue. Nombre d’artistes aujourd’hui revendiquent une démarche proche du documentaire et pourtant leurs œuvres tendent vers la fiction. Dans un monde où les références sont mouvantes, les photographes optent pour la mobilité : ils voyagent, se déplacent, traversent les lieux, les thèmes et ... - Exposition
Andreas Gefeller - The Japan Series
p { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; }a:link { }
HASTED KRAEUTLER is pleased to announce an exhibition of new photographs by Andreas Gefeller. This is Andreas' third solo exhibition with HASTED KRAEUTLER, following Andreas Gefeller: Recent Work (2009) and Andreas Gefeller: Supervisions (2007).
The Japan Series is a body of work that Gefeller created in March and early April of 2010, in the "Tottori Prefecture of Japan, for the European Eyes on Japan/Japan, Today" photography project. During his time in Japan, Gefeller photographed the elaborate, aboveground power cables that are ubiquitous in the prefecture. When photographing the cables, his perspective was from below, against a white or black sky, as though he was isolating them in a studio. For each work, he digitally assembled at least two viewpoints, so that th... - Exposition
The Japan Series - Andreas Gefeller
Art changes one's view upon reality. To heighten awareness and expand our perception of a supposedly well-known reality is the central aspiration of the works by Düsseldorf-based photographer Andreas Gefeller. „The Japan Series“ is his youngest series following „Supervisions“ and originated on the occasion of the project „European Eyes on Japan“, in which European photographers are invited annually to work in this Far Eastern country.
The series' focus lies on the „Poles“. Gefeller photographs electricity posts in at least two single upward views from a perpendicular position. In the subsequent digital assemblage the pole disappears and innummerable cables and current transformers are converted into an autonomous and abstract composition that spreads in front of a ... - Exposition
Landscape without Horizon Near and Far in Contemporary Photography
Curator: Bettina Paust
Of great interest today, landscape photography is generally characterised by the horizon as an aid to perception. Within the international discourse on contemporary landscape photography, the present exhibition is the first to focus on those artistic visions which, each in its own way, mask and eliminate the horizon as the line separating earth from sky.
The process of perceiving and experiencing land as landscape is a phenomenon that originated in the art of the early modern age. Ever since the Renaissance, Western artists have employed perspective with its prominent horizon as a method to depict the threedimensional world. From the beginning of the twentieth century, however, this pattern of perception and representation has been transcended, as numerous artistic developments show.

VETO : Contemporary Positions in German Photography
Seit der Erfindung im frühen 19. Jahrhundert gilt die Fotografie als Spiegel der Wirklichkeit. Aber nicht erst mit dem Aufkommen der digitalen Bildbearbeitung und ihren Möglichkeiten der Manipulation wurde dieser Anspruch radikal infrage gestellt. Acht künstlerische Positionen jenseits der Wirklichkeitstreue der Fotografie stellt die Ausstellung „VETO – Zeitgenössische Positionen in der deutschen Fotografie“ vom 4. September bis 15. November 2009 im Haus der Photographie in den Deichtorhallen vor.
Die von Ingo Taubhorn kuratierte Schau setzt den Fokus auf Fotografie, die die vielfachen Möglichkeiten einer Reflexion über die Bedingungen des fotografischen Bildes zum Bildthema hat. Die ausgewählten Künstlerinnen und Künstler, die sich mit ihren Arbeiten im K... - Exposition
Realtà Manipolate : Come le immagini ridefiniscono il mondo
L’esposizione, nata da un progetto del CCCS, con la consulenza scientifica di Brett Rogers (direttore della Photographers' Gallery di Londra), Luminita Sabau (direttrice della collezione di fotografia contemporanea DZ Bank, Germania), Martino Marangoni (direttore della Fondazione Marangoni di Firenze) e Franziska Nori (project director del CCCS), focalizzerà la propria attenzione sul significato del termine ‘realtà’ nelle ricerche artistiche contemporanee che sviluppano diverse possibilità visive di rappresentare il mondo nell’ambiguità tra reale e verosimile, concreto e apparente, presente e passato.
Le diverse discipline scientifiche hanno già definito un cambiamento paradigmatico, affermando che il “mondo reale” non esiste come categoria autonom... - Exposition
Manipulating Reality : How images redefine de the world
The exhibition, the idea for which came from a CCCS project that availed itself of the scientific advice of Brett Rogers (director of the Photographers' Gallery, London), Luminita Sabau (director of the DZ Bank collection of contemporary photography in Germany), Martino Marangoni (director of the Fondazione Marangoni, Florence) and Franziska Nori (project director with the CCCS), will be focusing on the meaning of the term "reality" in contemporary artistic research, as it explores different ways of visually representing the world in the ambiguity that lies between the real and the verisimilar, the concrete and the apparent, the present and the past.
Several different scientific disciplines have already defined a paradigmatic change when they contend that the "real world" does not exist as an indep... - Exposition
Andreas Gefeller - Supervisions
HASTED HUNT is pleased to announce new work by ANDREAS GEFELLER, large color photographs from his ongoing series "Supervisions." The exhibition runs from March 5 to April 25, 2009. There will be a reception for the artist on Thursday, March 5th from 6 to 8 PM.
Gefeller offers an intensely detailed view of the world that is unique. The viewer knows what he is seeing but senses that it is not actually possible. This is a low flying "bird's eye" view. The artist methodically maps an area photographically. The work is representational, a sort of topographic reportage, and yet, it seems disconcertingly unreal. Shooting over and over so close to the ground reveals a panorama of details with no perspective.
Gefeller's most recent "Supervisions" reflect his heightened sensitivity to time, ev... - Exposition
Andreas Gefeller Supervisions - New works
Ever since the digital technology noisily and overwhelmingly stormed onto the field of photography, the medium has had to wince repeatedly at the question about the degree to which its traditionally distinctive characteristic, namely an indissoluble connection to the factual, still remains capable of providing a meaningful basis for photographic discourse. In his astounding and precisely balanced pictural projects, Andreas Gefeller offers evidence of the type of foundations which may be laid down here without subsiding into anachronistic documentary fetishism. After the early work complexes Halbwertszeiten (1996) and Soma (2000), he has achieved with the large-scale series Supervisions (2002) a discovery of reality by means of a construction which is both document and invention. With the help of a tripod attached to his ...
