About this Item

Neuware -Over the past two decades, Lisa Oppenheim has developed a critically acclaimed practice that is deeply rooted in the field of photography while also constantly exploring its margins. She often focuses on the unexplored potential of the medium's artistic, technological, and sociopolitical histories. Combining material experimentation with archival research, Oppenheim transforms- or, in her words, 'reprocesses'-images and ideas both recent and historical by employing creative mechanisms ranging from a host of photographic processes to other media such as textiles, film and video, and, most recently, sculpture. Published in conjunction with her exhibition Monsieur Steichen at MUDAM Luxembourg, this richly illustrated catalogue surveys Oppenheim's works from the past dozen years, and includes new texts by Darsie Alexander, Christophe Gallois, Jacob Proctor, and Bettina Steinbrügge, as well as a conversation between Lisa Oppenheim and artist Liz Deschenes. 228 pp. Englisch.

About this title

Synopsis

Grounded in analog photography, Oppenheim's disparate bodies of work merge technique and material with historical and social content

Rooted in historical photographic practices, New York–based artist Lisa Oppenheim's (born 1975) portfolio ranges from documents of art looted or destroyed by the Nazi regime, a botany of trees and a speculative portrait of the Luxembourgish American photographer Edward Steichen.
