Analogue photography is enjoying a revival. Whereas digital
photography is predominantly used for documentary and everyday
purposes, its analogue counterpart is becoming increasingly popular
as an artistic and experimental medium. This catalogue showcases
the wide variety of contemporary trends in analogue photography as
exemplified by individual and serial works, as well as photographic
installations. Produced by 24 artists from German-speaking
countries, the works are grouped into four thematic sections that
illustrate different facets of this art form, all with a distinct
focus on the material and experimental uses of light, chemical
ingredients, and technique. The publication highlights contemporary
takes on photograms, chemigrams, and lumen printing, which all hark
back to the early days of photography. Silver daguerreotypes and
ambrotypes of modern-day sceneries create a disturbing
anachronistic effect. Yet other artists employ very different forms
of photography that go beyond simple cameras. The catalogue also
includes artistic positions that blur the boundaries between
analogue and digital photography, e.g., by interacting with
artificial intelligence, collaborating with digital machines, and
transposing digital images into analogue pictures. The show
includes work by: Sylvia Ballhause, Eun Sun Cho, Günter Derleth,
Jana Dillo, Tine Edel, Alexander Gehring, Spiros Hadjidjanos,
Alexander Kadow, Georgia Krawiec, Martin Kreitl, Antje Kröger, Ute
Lindner, Lilly Lulay, Harald Mairböck, Florian Merkel, Falk
Messerschmidt, Elisabeth Moritz, Taiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs,
Helena Petersen, René Schäffer, Karoline Schneider, Regina
Stiegeler, Claus Stolz, Ria Wank. Text in English and German.
