Marcia Wood Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of photographs
made without a camera by three German photographers well known for
their work in this particular aspect of the medium. Each artist uses
the form to make direct abstracted images that recall the most radical
experiments by the Surrealists and Bauhaus artists, among others.
This exhibition brings together the work of two contemporary German
photographers, Hanno Otten and Marco Breuer, with vintage prints by
Heinz Hajek-Halke, a leading practitioner of cameraless work in Germany
from the wartime era through the 1950s and 60s. Although cameraless
work has been increasingly prevalent among contemporary photographers,
this exhibition will examine how the continued celebration of abstract
photography in postwar Germany has affected the work of these younger
artists. |
