The exhibition shows images that uncover the unseen or picture something seen in an unusual way. We look for the special view through the lens or the experimental expression in the delivery or the photography-based process.
« Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary. » – Cecil Beaton
Artists on view :
Natascha Seideneck
These works are from my latest series titled “The Disaster Archive”. The images for this series are appropriated and recontextualized to function as icons of disasters and accidents that have occurred in the last two centuries; some more notorious then others. In addition this work is intended to preserve the memory of these catastrophic events that we might have not lived though personally, but just experienced as media spectacles.
Denise Bergelino
My work is based on my personal perspective and experience of the domestic space as well as its psychological and emotional relation to the exterior world. I am also interested in the ordinary and mundane aspects of daily intimate life and the sense of family. Through my work I try to construct a new space for my dreams, my hopes, my desires and eventually, my reality.
Patrick Loehr
”The digital technology used to create this image does not follow the order of the natural world. There isn’t a cycle of life and death in the digital realm. Data can exist forever and there is no decay. While revolutionary technologies bring convenience and efficiency to our lives, the eventual impact of their existence is unseen.”
Charlotte Otto
Charlotte photographs wildlife using home made filters. Her inspiration has always come from nature, and her process has been instrumental in pushing this relationship further. As a young girl, Charlotte lived in the countryside in Indiana, close to the creatures and outdoors elements. After first moving to Chicago and then Denver, she works to maintain an intimate relationship with all things wild .

While these eight examples of my work appear at first to be disparate and eclectic, the unifying thread here, as throughout most of my work, is an exploration in the great space that exists between the physiology of sight—the actual mechanics of vision—and cognition in the viewer’s mind. Playing a large part in pieces though utilized to a lesser extent here is a the use of language by way of suggesting, leading or even misdirecting a viewer toward an intended experience, further poking holes through the notion of photography as “truth” or “evidence”. Humor, surprise, disgust, cleverness and despair are among the many emotional results in play.
