Using varied forms of media including moving images, audio, text, performance, cyanotypes, silkscreen prints, and rubbings, Hira Nabi's project explores the complex connections between exploitation, history and identity.
"What happens during destruction? What does the aftermath entail? What does disappearance look like? What traces does it leave behind? What is the texture of rot, debris and ruins?"
- Hira Nabi
How to Love a Tree: Wild Encounters is an ongoing project launched in 2019. The individual chapters of the study highlight colonial influences and geographical changes with their lasting effects. Nabi's work comes about through her engagement with the environment situated in Pakistan: former colonial hill stations in and around the towns, villages and surrounding blue pine forests of Murree, and the Galiyat region.
Nabi sees these places as ecosystems that are crumbling, with a history marked by colonial rule. She focuses on making remnants of this painful past visible in what are now tourist destinations in the hills. Here, traces of exploitation mingle with expressions of capitalism, while the deterioration of the environment continues. | | |

High Museum of Art, Atlanta,
gift of Dr. Joe B. Massey, 2022.252. | | | | | | | Photography and the American South since 1845 | | | | | | | | ... 14 January 2024 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The South has occupied an uneasy place in the history of photography as both an example of regional exceptionalism and as the crucible from which American identity has been forged. As the first major survey of Southern photography in twenty-five years, this exhibition will examine that complicated history and reveal the South’s critical impact on the evolution of the medium, posing timely questions about American culture and character.
Featuring many works from the High’s extensive collection, A Long Arc will include photographs of the American Civil War, which transformed the practice of photography across the nation and established visual codes for articulating national identity and expressing collective trauma. Photographs from the 1930s to the 1950s, featuring many created for the Farm Security Administration, will demonstrate how that era defined a new kind of documentary aesthetic that dominated American photography for decades and included jarring and unsettling pictures that exposed economic and racial disparities. With works drawn from the High’s unparalleled collection of civil rights–era photography, the exhibition will show how photographs of the movement in the decade that followed galvanized the nation with raw depictions of violence and the struggle for justice. Contemporary photography featured in the exhibition will demonstrate how photographers working today continue to explore Southern history and themes to grasp American identity. | | |

STILLES ERWACHEN, 2023
© Astrid Lowack | | | | | | | | 26 October - 25 November 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | "To have paradise in mind, is after all, something wonderful, to look forward to it likewise.... it can of course also be seen as something final - depending on the point of view... just as my pictures always combine something positive and something negative - and you perceive what you want to see...", the artist explains with reference to the exhibition title.
Visiting the gallery, viewers are invited to turn off their minds and fully engage with the large-scale works of the photo artist. They provide access to an alien world into which one balances with uncertain footsteps. The further you move, the more you loose connection to established color contexts, to familiar forms and their proportions. Your mind inevitably gravitates to this supernatural experience, of natural phenomena that no longer seem to fit into this world.
The artist normally works outside amidst nature. There the artist finds all the elements that she needs for the “transcendent” image effect she is striving for, beyond normal sensory experience: light and shade, water and movement. The duration of the photographic process is open, it can last between a few minutes and several hours. This often results in several thousand photographs. The artist chooses some of these, which she then treats in two steps. Firstly she selects a section as a valid picture composition, and secondly she reduces or intensifies the colors inherent in the image.
Astrid Lowack, born in Bamberg in 1969, originally studied Industrial Design - but has long since crossed the formal boundaries of applied design. Her work could rather be described as a part of "subjective photography," which Otto Steinert founded at the beginning of the 1950s with an expli… | | |

| | | Serie With You (part 3), 2022 © Sanja Marušić | | | Saison 2023 – 2024: FORMENSPRACHE | | | Free access to the outdoor exhibitions, daily, all year | | | | | | | 14 October 2023 – 7 October 2024 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clervaux - Cité de l'image enters its new season 2023-2024 with 6 new open-air exhibitions.
We dive into a world full of fantastic forms, approaches, themes and techniques. The six photographers invited this year use their own formal language to express emotions, convey stories or present certain concepts. In this open-air exhibition, the focus is on playing with contrasts, experimenting with techniques or on the most diverse stylistic elements.
With depictions of fundamental themes in the life of a young woman, the artist Sanja Marušić attracts full attention with her colourful photographs on the market square. Heading towards the church, we pass the arcades with the photographic works of Christine Erhard, which have been developed out of a sculptural process in her studio. Opposite the church, Thaddäus Biberauer takes us on his journeys through nature. The snapshots, almost painterly in scene, invite us to dream. In Steph Meyer's works, the focus is on the photograph and the viewer. The picture within the picture, in which the viewers in the arcades of the Grand-Rue are included in the snapshot of the documented photo exhibition or even become voyeurs. On the castle plateau, Liz Lambert gives us a deep insight into her very personal story. In a poetic and partly symbolic way, she explores the questions of how relationships come into being and develop. In Tina Lechner's works in the garden of the castle, she focuses on the exploration of identity and the female body. Covered with self-produced props, this becomes a retrofuturistic sculpture.
Through their creative and poetic manner, the photographers a… | | |

© Martina Stapf, courtesy Martina Stapf | | | | | | | 17 women. 17 positions. | | | | | | | | 26 October – 2 December 2023 | | | Opening: Wednesday, 25 October, 7-9pm
Curated by Freddy Langer | | | | | | | | | | | | | The exhibition "Self of Stage. 17 Women. 17 Positions" presents a selection of international female artists who work both in front of and behind the camera.
The show has been put together by the Frankfurt journalist and photography expert Freddy Langer. He responds to the magnificent traveling exhibition "Feminism Avantgarde", SAMMLUNG VERBUND, Vienna, with works from the 1970s by Valie Export and Orlan, Cindy Sherman and Annegret Soltau, among others, by asking how the examination of the self is represented in female photography today.
Freed from the social role attributions that the previous generation had to fight against, the women photographers stake out a wide range of themes. They leave behind the radical emancipatory struggle. Now there are just as many examples of wry humor as there are moments of melancholy. And with unconcealed matter-of-factness, these young women plunder what has accumulated in the canon of art history.
The seventeen positions range from Elina Brotherus and her gravitational back figures in the style of Caspar David Friedrich, to Kourtney Roy's whimsical survival strategies during the Corona Lockdowns, to Johanna Keimeyer's startling role portraits as Andy Warhol and Frida Kahlo. Annegret Soltau, one of the pioneers of feminist art in the 1970s, will be part of the exhibition as special guest. | | |

| | | Kathrin Linkersdorff: Microverse II / 2, 2023 archival pigment print © Kathrin Linkersdorff | | | | | | | | 27 October 2023 – 21 January 2024 | | | | Opening: Thursday, 26 October, 7pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kathrin Linkersdorff’s (*1966) fascinating large-scale works fluctuate between art and science. With experiments in which the artist explores the nature of plants and thus offers an enlarged view of their fragile inner structures, she works at the intersection of photography and botany. She deliberately sets processes of decay in motion in order to expose the inner structure of flowers and other plants. She captures their revealed structures in staged photographs, for which she uses a variety of photographic techniques, from dye transfer to high-quality archival pigment prints on special cotton paper. Her thinking and the aesthetics of her photographs are rooted in the Japanese concept of wabi sabi, according to which beauty is the acceptance of impermanence, imperfection, and vulnerability.
For her series "Fairies", the artist first collects tulips and carefully dries them over a period of several weeks. During this time, she extracts the pigments from the flowers, which she then reconcentrates into a natural dye. She then immerses the dried, translucent flowers in a liquid medium in which their petals unfold.
In her new research project, which will be shown for the first time at PHOXXI she makes use of bacteria. The resulting new series of works will be created in collaboration with the microbiologist Prof. Dr. Regine Hengge from Excellence Cluster Matters of Activity at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. In order to visualize processes that materials undergo in nature, discolored plants and fruits will serve as a growth substrate for bacteria, which form morphologically differentiated and spectacularly colorful colonies with their colored antibiotics. The complex interplay of growth and decay in nature is thus made directly visible.
The exhibiton is curated by Ingo Taubhorn. | | |

Untitled #10, from Ill Form and Void, 2010/2011

© Laura Letinsky / Galerie Miranda | | | | | | | a dialogue | | | | | | | | ... until 5 November 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In October, the gallery will propose works by two major references of contemporary still life photography: Laura Letinsky (1962, American, exhibited in Arles for the first time in Europe), whose delicate, large format tableaux of image fragments, from the series 'Ill Form and Void Full, 2014), will be proposed alongside selected vintage chromogenic prints by Jan Groover (1943-2012, American).
The two women artists sublimate the domestic environment, a feminist message expressed in the late 70s with Groover's pristine, gleaming stacks of dishes and silverware, that continues to resonate in the ethereal, contemporary works of Letinsky. Delicately composing painterly tableaux with collaged images and real dining objects - left overs, crumbs, spills, ashtrays, plates, glasses of wine, fruit - Letinsky creates beauty with mess and the unfinished and subtly evokes the perpetual and thankless labour that is housekeeping. | | |

| | Roger Ballen
YOUNG MAN, 1998
from the "Outland" series
36 x 36 cm | | | | | | | | ... until 18 November 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Les Douches la Galerie is pleased to present, for the first time this Fall, a solo show by Roger Ballen, including his early series from the 80s and 90s. Roger Ballen was born in New York in 1950, but has lived and worked in Johannesburg, South Africa since 1982. After working in mineral exploration, he took his camera to dig into the layers of his own inner life and pierce the external surface of a poor and deeply rural country.
With the Dorps series (small dormitory towns) which he begun in 1983 in a sun-scorched landscape, the doors and shutters of cafés are closed, the buildings of Victorian Cape architecture inanimate and the images are frontal. But when he decided to enter homes directly and confront stained surfaces, saturated with lines, marks, photos and children's drawings, the interior wall became an essential element in his work. It's not a background, but rather a surface, like a picture plane. Between 1986 and 1994, Roger Ballen also took an interest in marginalized population. "They may well become another fragment of human detritus of the new South Africa," he writes in the preface to Platteland, the first impactful book among his singular bibliography. In 2001, Outland introduced the "wire" period. Roger Ballen draws with wires, linking the formal elements of the image with straight lines and curves. | | |
