Portfolio Overview Ina Jang In a World Without Words...
Mirko Martin L.A. Crash
Ina Jang’s work hovers between photo graphy, graphic design and the constructive aspects of sculpture. By folding or piercing surfaces or by sliding featureless planes over images she plays an intriguing game with concealment and revelation.
Mirko Martin creates a fascinating interplay of fact and fiction by juxtaposing pictures of film sets in the streets of Los Angeles with non-stagemanaged shots of the city. He points up the influence of film on how we experience reality.
Raphaël Dallaporta Ruins (Season 1)
Katrien Vermeire Godspeed
Fleur van Dodewaard Sun Set Series
Raphaël Dallaporta took multiple aerial photos of archaeological sites in Afghanistan with a camera mounted on a drone. Using special software, he then created intriguing visual mosaics that show usually hidden things.
Using photography’s fundamental ingredients of light and time, Katrien Vermeire allows the medium to make visible what would otherwise be invisible. Bright yellow stripes represent the paths taken by fireflies during extended exposure.
Concentrated on the photographic cliché of sunsets, Fleur van Dodewaard’s work shows artificial structures reflected in a mirror, emphasizing the illusory aspects of photography. The stress lies on the mediated character of photographs.
Ester Vonplon The Stillness of Existence
Renato Abreu Revelations
Lucas Blalock Part Object
Ester Vonplon responds to a place in a non-linear, associative way using relatively simple photographic equipment. Dirt, leakages of light, scratches and cracks are giving each photograph tactility and a real-world existence.
The contrast between Renato Abreu’s spectacular brightly coloured sweaters and the look on his face creates immediately a confusing effect. This series of typologies subtly refers to abstract art and to colour as an autonomous element of images.
In theory anything can serve as a subject as what matters is the way Lucas Blalock transforms it into a powerful image that speaks to the imagination. He isolates, adapts and manipulates, while always retaining directness and clarity.
