Annette Kelm Book order

Objects Recognized in Flashes' is the title of a group exhibition focusing on surfaces of photographs, products, and bodies. The exhibition was developed by the curator in consultation with the artists Michele Abeles, Annette Kelm, Josephine Pryde, and Eileen Quinlan. It asks how our largely mediatized society deals with and relates analogue and digital images. How are relations between material and immateriality, body, screen and photographic surface constituted? In our contemporary consumer culture, products and questions of commodity aesthetics are becoming more and more significant. This is not without consequences for our use of photographic images. Ubiquitous advertising, marketing, and product presentation create imaginary visual standards that have now become a firm fixture of our self representations in photos on social media platforms. The works by the four artists in the exhibition respond both in respect to each other, and to this changing context.

Dieses erste Buch der jungen Künstlerin ist nicht einfach nur eine fotografische Anthologie, sondern versammelt sorgfältig konzipierte Aufnahmen, die Realität und Fiktion, begehbaren Raum und Kulisse fast ununterscheidbar ineinanderfließen lassen. Sie fangen sowohl Vorgefundenes wie auch Arrangiertes unter theatralischen Blickwinkeln ein und erzeugen so eine latent filmischnarrative Atmosphäre.
