Aram Tanis (NL) www.aramtanis.nl/ |
|
 | Aram Tanis work is bare, whatever object he puts in front of his camera. All of his images show or at least suggest a sense of un-belonging, dislocation and environmental alienation. Aram Tanis: 'I want to confront the viewer with the banality of life that everybody recognizes. We all have something lying in the fridge that has gone way out of date. I show the things that people assume are filthy, abnormal or disturbed, but which are actually all just the usual, normal kind of things.' |

 | Rotterdam-based photographer Ari Versluis and stylist Ellie Uyttenbroek have worked together since October 1994. Inspired by a shared interest in the striking dress codes of various social groups, they have systematically documented numerous identities over the last 13 years. Rotterdam's heterogeneous, multicultural street scene remains a major source of inspiration for Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek, although since 1998 they have also worked in cities abroad.

Diana Scherer (D/NL) www.dianascherer.nl |
|
 | Diana Scherer uses human models in unnatural poses, hang like bells from trees, or bodies lying face down on the floors.
A lifeless body in an uncanny position enters surrealism through images. Her latest work is a constructed world of dead animals
bringing back to life through a photo background of natural outdoor situation.

Hans Aarsman (NL) www.ediepeters.nl |
|
 | Attention: This website is only in dutch!!! Shame…. because
It is one of the people who writes about photography rather than take it.
The start site begins with an introduction of photography itself.
“If you look at photographs, you have to ask yourself: Am I impressed from the photograph or do I think I want impress the others? To be famous is fantastic however it is an influence from
the outside. Your motive has to come from yourself, the things that
you are fascinated. –My first photographs were about sheeps …..”
Hans Aarsman writes about founded photographs. ‘The pencil has a lens with several perspectives, several stand points are possible.’

Joachim Schmid (DE) schmid.wordpress.com |
|
 | An artist who doesn\’t take the pictures himself however used found pictures and public image resources like internet. His work is a reflection of a close observation of photographic history and a fascination with photographic images themselves in all their alternately bizarre and conventionalized aspects. I questioned him if he ever will get tired of looking at pictures. His answer was: Never! |

Jules Spinatsch (CH) www.jules-spinatsch.ch |

Evian/Geneva in a transitory state of emergency lock-down during
the global economic summits (2001–2003). It combines different

Katja Mater (NL) www.katjamater.nl |
|
 | Katja Mater creates constructive photographs about
the medium itself. A gaze of falling printed photographs or
the frame of a slide projection lightening a book shelf, books stabled like buildings and paintings on the surface of light.
The experiments of Katja Mater confronts the question of what is photography and how the producer and the viewer experience it.
She named her process as a semi-science, a form of ‘romantic mathematics’.

Lieko Shiga (JP) www.liekoshiga.de |
|
 | The work of Japanese photographer Lieko Shiga has an incredibly unsettling quality, with her subjects practically immersed in darkness, surrounded by surreal explosions of light or an eerie glow, giving them an almost supernatural luminescence.
Many of Shiga’s photographs are themselves rephotographs, a print framed by a macro lens, bright lights or black ink saturating the reverse of image.

Oran Hoffmann (IL/NL) www.oranhoffmann.com |
|
 | His interests are in the visual perception of photography where the
physical quality of colors and papers is essential. Having printed photography on puzzles, wood blocks and books, the
installation form does question the photographic representation.
What is striking about his work are the mix between German and English titles
that are contradiction between clear and dissolute labels.

Sarah Sze (MA, USA) www.sarahsze.com |
|
 | Sarah Sze is an artist known in particular for site-specific ephemeral sculptures, in which thousands of small everyday objects are assembled into fragile, sweeping forms that get a function of an independent organism. The sculptures are cut, sectioned in half, or stripped down and worn away, revealing the skeletal structures, building-like foundations, or underlying support mechanisms that lie beneath.
If you ever have the chance to see her installation it is very frustrating afterwards to see her work on the format of internet.

 | All his series are on his website however I recommend to see his numerous books. Stephen is an artist who wanders between conceptual and documentary work where he captured the scenes of city streets.
Gill revels in the chaos of road works, the clutter of abandoned lots and the forgotten spaces between buildings. Gill suggests he's doing no more than "looking at things that we know very well, but rarely have the chance to stop and stare at."
