presentation/ representation (part 2)

presentation / representation
This exhibition showed "a cross-section of contemporary German photographic practice as photography evolves from an analogue to a digital medium." [AF2009] naturaly with any cross section exibition you find alot of the artists to be

Laurenz Berges took pictures of interiors of abandoned buildings. capturing muted colours, decay as detail the natural reclaiming the space.

My least favourite of the exibition was claus goedickie the photo that was a severe abomination of using photoshop to make what looked like a patterned rug with pictures inlaid.

Heedi Specker was fascinated by a Swede, and was inspired by her uniqueness. This was the most coherent and visually interesting of the exhibition. I was drawn in by the soft pastel palette depicted in the first image showing a light blue in the ice isolated by white with a small fissure running through the middle the next image kept the gaps with a hand made quilt full of reds yellows blues and texture with trees in the background. each image seemed to be connected by a feature or shape in the last picture

Wiebeke Loeper upon first look it looks like a series of photos starting with a town, it then moves onto buildings being built the sea and old people and decayed buildings
at the end of the row is a small a4 letter which basically depicts the photo essays content a story through pictures, there was somewhat of a cultural barrier to understanding the story with just the pictures the leaving of the young people was symbolised by a picture of the sea something I don't associate with leaving due to the close proximity of the ocean and the idea of sailing away off to another land via sea.

This was a 2 part exhibition and it would have been interesting to see the works from part one to contrast to this selection.

The bath street gallery was a adequately sized exhibition space stained concrete floors white walled, with a large glass window entrance and a set of stairs to the main area the layout was in a L which creates a very linear approach to moving through the space.
