Veiled Havens In many cultures, people wrap a newborn in cloths as a symbol of protection and security. The same ritual is applied after the death of a loved one. In this series, the cloth symbolises the need for self-protection during life. When do we drop the cloth and dare to really show ourselves or is the cloth our permanent safe haven?

This project was initially conceived with a totally different…

Kominek Gallery presents the exhibition e-Herbarium by Joan Fontcuberta. For Joan Fontcuberta (Barcelona, 1955), photographing nature is a way to reflect on the nature of photography. His renowned project Herbarium (1982-84) did exactly that: illustrating a time of growing environmental awareness, biotech or genetic control over living forms. Fontcuberta's eye was already well trained on conceptual art, counterculture (mainly Dadaism and Surrealism) and Postmodernism. Herbarium revamped botanic illustrations in a…
