ABSTRACT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wolfgang Tillmans
In the past decade Tillman has produced non-representational works that examines themes such as the process of exposure. Many of his works are poorly lit, out of focus; some even contain scratches and blemishes often making visual patterns out of everyday objects that most people would overlook. “In the last 10 years, I have worked a lot with purely photographic material and light in the darkroom making pictures I wouldn’t be able to do either with paint or with the camera,”

Siskind began his career in the 1930s as a social documentary photographer. His work took a new direction in the 1940s when he shifted his focus to neglected details of the manmade environment: graffiti, decaying walls, peeling paint, tattered posters, and rusted signs.

SELF REFLECTIVE
Francesca Woodman
Woodman appears in her own photographs and her body is often seen as part of her surroundings: caught in a state of metamorphosis she is not quite here, not quite there. In others, she uses a variety of props to create strange and dreamlike quality tinted with melancholy.
John Coplans began photographing his aging body after he turned 60, photographing body parts very closely. His work explores ideas concerning the self and what is considered beautiful John Coplans

COMMUNICATION
Calle got an email from a lover, ending her relationship. She asked a team of women – all experts in their professional fields – to respond to it. Each woman interprets the letter from her point of view: a jurist analyses it as the termination of a contract, a translator examines its grammar, a composer turns it into music.

Jerry Uelsmann
Jerry Uelsmann's photomontages are a curious hybrid of different themes and ideas. In a single print you can find imagery that references comedy, popular culture, surreal and romantic fantasy
