Paris Photo 2015 : Adrian Sauer at Klemm’s Berlin

Preview

The artistic work of Adrian Sauer questions the limits of the image in a time in which camera images become increasingly hybrid constructs, between light measurement and mathematical re-calculation. In a provocative way, some of his works at first resemble technical test pictures, and yet these questions are included into the language and tradition of concrete and generative photography. While he did devote some of his works to the semantic and pragmatic dimension of the use of images—how are images used and read in a specific context? His other main interest lies in the ‘morphology’ of the digital image, its ‘theory of form’: How is it assembled within its smallest parts? How does it work to transfer visible, physical reality into a saved, calculated image? What does the raster of the new optical instruments provide? Adrian Sauer addresses the new digital world of images as our most pivotal field of communication. The Human Being / The Human Brain in a constant stream of images and visual information with all its implications and effects we can already witness. Specifics artworks: Presence/Ubiquity; Irritation/Concentration or Reflection/Dissolution are some of the key references for the project. A freestanding, glazed object – functioning as a mirror for the works presented. With a shape of an irregular triangle that is almost as tall as the surrounding walls it reminds of a ‘folded screen’ or an oversized prism. The photographs on the wall are mirrored and fragmented; the spectator is completely surrounded by this interplay of constantly changing perspectives: framing and zooming, focusing on a single work and spatial awareness.

For this years ParisPhoto we are happy to show a curated solo presentation by Adrian Sauer for which he developed a specific presentation of selected works from his œuvre and work to be premiered at the fair.

Adrian Sauer (1976, Berlin) uses the conception of photography as constituent. In his work he reacts to current adjustments in dealing with photography by leading common conceptions of reality and immediacy into the absurd. Photography serves him as a sketch-board for eventually finding a virtual imagery by means of adequate but digitally generated, classified and ordered colors.
