IF THIS IS TRUE... / JUSTIN, RANDY AND AUSTIN, ELY (NEVADA) , 2015
Fine art print on Fiba print baryta paper
Available in 3 sizes: 70 x 52,5 cm / 100 x 70 cm / 140 x 105 cm
Edition of 5 plus 2 artist's proofs | | | Monochromatic | | | | | | | 29 April – 10 June 2023 | | | | Opening: Saturday 29 April 17:00 pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | A woman in a formal white gown glances sideways, her gaze steady and her expression neutral. A set of hands – the body to whom they belong cropped from the frame – tends to the garment’s draped fabric, as if carefully fitting a wedding dress. To the rear, an older woman rests a weathered hand on the younger woman’s shoulder; the expression she wears is more sombre – a mother preparing to let go of her soon-to-be-married daughter, perhaps? Where a palette of black, white and textured greys frames each figure in murky shadow, small bursts of colour come from light leaks and the imperfections of analogue processing – conjuring a nostalgic sense of age, proffering honesty and authenticity.
But the origins of the image described here – a winner, briefly, of the 2023 Sony World Photography Awards by German artist Boris Eldagsen – are a far cry from those it implies; it was in fact produced by an AI image generator, employed by its creator to inspire debate. Where the World Photography Organisation claimed to have identified and accepted Eldagsen’s creative process of artificial co-creation, the artist himself declined the award. | | |

TREES, SEAS, AND THE BEE'S KNEES | | | | ... until 15 July 2023 | | | GALLERY WEEKEND: Friday 12 - 20pm . Saturday 12 - 19pm
Sunday 12 - 16pm with LOREDANA NEMES | | | | | | | | | | | | | On the occasion of EMOP Berlin - European Month of Photography, Galerie Springer Berlin presents the first solo exhibition of photographer Loredana Nemes entitled "Trees, Seas, and the Bee's Knees". The selection of work on view includes the current series of works "Greytree and Heavensea" created from 2019 to 2023, the series Immergrün from 2020, the group of works Blossom Time from 2012 and the series Greed, 2014-2017.
For two decades, the artist Loredana Nemes has worked mainly on the theme of portraits, which have been presented in numerous series and institutional exhibitions. Since 2019, Nemes has increasingly approached nature. On Rügen she creates the cycle Greytree and Heavensea, in which she complements photographs of the beech forest in Jasmund National Park with views of the immensity of the sea. 14 visits in all seasons let her deeply explore this unique natural place and tell of the continuous change inherent in all life.
During the same time she photographs the series Immergrün in 2020, searching for lovers who have been together for several decades. Poetic texts and pictures emerge from the stories told by the 14 couples who showed up. In doing so, she explores the question of how the interweaving of souls and bodies of the lovers can be expressed through photography and chooses condensation through analogue double exposure for this purpose.
In the second portrait series, Blossom Time from 2012, the artist captured young people on their way to adolescence. She chooses to take group pictures, but photographs each young person individually and then assembles the images into diptychs or triptychs. "The cycle Blossoming is an od… | | |

| | | Malte Sänger » of a Traveling Bird Collector | | | | 29 April — 10 June 2023 | | | Opening reception: Friday, 28 April, 6—8 pm
Malte Sänger will be present. | | | | | | | | | | | | | Malte Sänger's photographic narrative of a Traveling Bird Collector follows the traces of the "Harzer Roller", a canary that was one of the best-known and most popular German export goods in the 19th century, especially in the USA.
Bred in the villages of the Harz Mountains, the bird was not only popular for its melodius song, it was also used by miners around the world to save them from dying in the mines. If one of the canaries in the dark shafts stopped singing and fell unconscious from the perch, this signal protected the workers from inhaling excessive gas concentrations and enabled them to get to safety in time.
With the help of a large format camera he built especially for this series, Malte Sänger follows the winding paths of the Harz Roller and explores life deep in the layers of geology and in the cracks in our history. He is interested in the blind spots of this story and in the economic and ideological interests behind them.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication with photographs by Malte Sänger and an essay by Sophie Haslinger (German/English). We’ll be happy to reserve a signed copy for you. Malte Sänger (b. 1987) studied photography, philosophy and aesthetics at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Offenbach (diploma) before completing his studies with a Master of Fine Arts at the California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles.
In 2018/19 he was a prize winner at "Gute Aussichten - Junge deutsche Fotografie" and received their GRANT III scholarship in 2019/20. In 2015 he was awarded the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation and HfG Award, and for his books Shifting Baselines (2018) as well as Hinterland (2020), daemon and Ein Euro… | | |

| | Zora J Murff
White Girl, 2022 (Detail)
Pigment print
28 x 35 inches
© Zora J Murff / Webber Gallery | | | Zora J Murff » We Here For Some Jive Conspiracy | | | | ... until 20 May 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | "We Here For Some Jive Conspiracy" is the title of Webber's inaugural LA exhibition by American artist Zora J Murff. Murff's practice is consistent in its fierce and open questioning of racial and cultural constructs – this specific iteration of works being geared toward the histories and social climate of Los Angeles. This is not the first time the artist has chosen to focus on one place in order to detail a more expansive case-study of America's complex and deep racial history - photographed in Omaha, Nebraska, At No Point In Between (2021) exists as a photographic study of a Black community which has been shaped by a legacy of injustice and oppression.
Here in this LA installation, Murff continues to utilise photography's objective power alongside our faith in the image to probe our existing relationships with racial indifferences, whilst weaving in an array of historical documents alongside a growing archive of memes, online social phenomena, and pop culture references.
This amalgamation of materials, time and information comes together through a collaging of the gallery walls and floor in homage to fly-postering as a means of direct, provocative communication. The piece White Girl is comprised of a long repeating series of the famous image of OJ Simpson's white Bronco being driven down Interstate 405 in 1994, both the scene and the individual now serving as an emblem of LA's racial and fanatical character.
An arguably intrinsic link exists between the televised courtroom trial and the Rodney King riots that took place just a few years prior, with Murff reproducing the images of Reginald Denny being pulled from his truck and assaulted at a large and unavoidable scale in the gallery. … | | |

| | DAVE HEATH (1931-2016)
Washington Square, 1959
© Dave Heath / courtesy Stephen Bulger Gallery & Howard Greenberg Gallery | | | | | | | | ... until 6 May 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | For its spring 2023 programme, Galerie Miranda is delighted to present an exhibition of vintage photographs by Dave Heath (1931-2016, US/Canada), the first European gallery exhibition of Dave Heath's work. Entitled Alone, together, the exhibition at Galerie Miranda presents emblematic works that express Heath's central themes of loneliness and alienation in modern society.
Influenced by W. Eugene Smith, in whose workshops he participated, as well as the photographers of the Chicago School including Aaron Siskind and Harry Callahan, Dave Heath worked mainly on the streets while living in Philadelphia, Chicago and New York, seeking to capture the fractures and growing unease in booming American post-war society, prior to the rise of the civil rights movement and opposition to the Vietnam War.
His seminal publication A Dialogue with Solitude was conceived in 1961 and finally published in 1965 after difficulty in finding a publisher, then reprinted in 2000 with a preface by Robert Frank. The book stunned with its emotional potency, thanks to Heath's sensitive translation of an intimate experience of the world, something lived and felt: tension in the city streets, between the constrained proximity of bodies and the isolation of individuals in the crowd, who fill his frame with their 'absent presence'. Heath photographed strangers of all class and generation; riding the train, watching other passers by or just staring pensively into the distance, lost in thought.
In his own words, Heath endeavoured to convey not a sense of futility and despair, but an acceptance of life's tragic aspects. He also captured glimmers of joy and tenderness that intersect the series like brilliant rays of sunshine.

Gitana, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, Francia, 1960 © Sabine Weiss, collections Photo Elysée, Lausanne | | | | | | | | 28 April – 11 June 2023 | | | | Fotografia Europea 2023: Europe matters | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sabine Weiss ( 1924–2021) is probably the longest-standing photographer in history. She was one of the key representatives of the post-war movement that is usually referred to in France as ‘humanist photography’, and to which photographers such as Robert Doisneau, Willy Ronis or Edouard Boubat belonged.
Reportage, illustration, fashion, advertising, artist portraits as well as her own personal work: Sabine Weiss approached all areas of photography as a challenge , a pretext for meeting and travelling, a way of life and a means of self-expression.
The retrospective titled A photographer’s life , to which she contributed up until her last breath, bears witness to the passion of a lifetime and highlights the dominant elements of a way of working in constant empathy with the human being. Through more than 140 original pr… | | |

Collection of the Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver Art Gallery Acquisition Fund. Courtesy of the artist | | | Jin-me Yoon » Scotiabank Photography Award | | | | 29 April – 5 August 2023 | | | | 2023 Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This exhibition, composed of seminal series along with new works, celebrates artist Jin-me Yoon’s lens-based art. Korean-born and based in Vancouver, Yoon reflects critically upon the construction of national and diasporic identities in relation to her personal experience and broader geopolitical contexts. The artist, winner of the Scotiabank Photography Award (2022), repurposes visual stereotypes and dominant narratives to explore gender, culture, and citizenship in an accelerated, globalized era. Yoon’s work also reframes viewers’ understanding of some of the most pressing issues today, including the impacts of colonialism, militarization, displacement, and environmental devastation. | | |

| | | | | | | | Photo Art Fair | | | | | | | | 5 – 7 May 2023 | | | | Opening on Thursday May 4 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Phair, the annual event dedicated to photography, will be held from May 5 to May 7 (with Opening on May 4) inside Pavilion 3 of Torino Esposizioni.
The Phair is the photography fair dedicated to contemporary art and photography galleries that for the occasion present image-related art projects made with photographic or video material. The selection of the galleries involved is assigned to a Committee composed of professionals working in different areas of the art market.
This careful choice and equal spaces for all guarantee an organic proposal not divided into themes and sections but more similar to a series of exhibitions, innovating the traditional fair structure and suggesting new methods of understanding and analysis of the artworks proposed.
Turin's vocation for photography, whose roots go back as far as the first half of the XIX century, has been cultivated throughout the twentieth century and nurtured in particular in recent years with the birth of important institutions such as Camera centro italiano per la fotografia and the new Turin branch of Gallerie d'Italia, a place where photography and video art express their aesthetic value by addressing crucial themes of history and contemporaneity. | | |
