F&D Cartier’s installation Wait and See, Frankfurt 2022 is now part of the Kunststiftung DZ BANK renowned collection of contemporary experimental photography.
Longtemps, l’histoire de l’abstraction s’est passée du médium de la photographie. Il faudra attendre la fin du XXe siècle, cinquante ans après son apogée dans l’art moderne, pour que l’abstraction connaisse une véritable renaissance dans la photographie contemporaine. L’article examine la thèse selon laquelle, derrière ce retour de l’abstraction, on assiste à une confrontation autoréflexive avec la matérialité et la médialité de l’acte photographique à l’ère de sa prétendue disparition. C’est avec l’avènement du numérique que l’abstraction photographique développe pour la première fois pleinement son potentiel. Les discours de crise, qui avaient déjà accompagné le tournant abstrait dans l’art au début du XXe siècle, s’instaureront tardivement dans le domaine de la photographie : dans les années 1990, avec le passage de l’analogique au numérique, on entend de plus en plus souvent parler de la « fin de la photographie ». Vingt ans après, le numérique a élaboré sa propre histoire. Aujourd’hui, l’art contemporain l’interpelle – et cette nouvelle photographie analytique se manifeste sous la forme d’une image abstraite. Kathrin Schönegg
get a sneak peak, The book traverses the history of photography’s abstraction: from the experimental beginnings of the medium in the 1830s through (pseudo) scientific, applied and artistic contexts to the digitization of today. It counteracts the collection of phenomena by the theory of art a history of abstraction, which takes into account the photographic materiality and mediality beyond and on this side of the image. With this "fundamental work on the history of photographic and discursive photographic abstraction" (German Society for Photography), Kathrin Schönegg touches on the foundations of the photographic and sheds new light on the integration of photography into the aesthetic discourse. Kathrin Schönegg, historienne de la photographie, curatrice auprès de la C/O Berlin Foundation. En 2018, la Société allemande de photographie lui a décerné le Prix de la recherche en histoire de la photographie pour sa thèse de doctorat sur la théorie et l’histoire de l’abstraction dans la photographie. Ouvrages récemment parus : Fotografiegeschichte der Abstraktion (2019) et Heinz von Perckhammer. Eine Fotografenkarriere zwischen Weimarer Republik und Nationalsozialismus (2018).
Color Mania Photography and Film
FotomuseumWinterthur 19
This publication highlights material aspects of color in photography and film, while also investigating the relationship of historical film colors and present-day photography. Works of contemporary photographers and artists who reflect on technological and culture-theoretical aspects of the material of color underline these relations. Thematic clusters focus on aesthetic and technological parallels, including fashion and identity, abstraction and experiment, politics, exoticism, and travel.
Color Mania contains a general introduction to color in film and photography (technique, materiality, aesthetics) as well as a series of short essays that take a closer look at specific aspects. An extensive image section illustrates the texts and color systems and continues the aesthetic experience of the various processes and objects in book form
RESET THE APPARATUS! 2019
The book illustrates that supposedly outmoded, analog practices in
contemporary photographic and cinematic art not only have maximum actuality, but also critical potential. Using the example of artists’ practices that are motivated by the idea of the photographic and/or the cinematic but do not necessarily lead to photographs or films, the book shows how, in multiple ways, the display tool—the apparatus—can be explored, taken apart, reflected, modified, and newly arranged. The contributions that have also emerged from cooperative efforts between artists and scientists focus on the required technical/material processes and demonstrate that knowledge of medial difference is also socio-politically relevant.
