Items related to Matthias Hermann: A-Z
In remembrance of the time when photography involved chemistry, mechanical cameras and an element of mystery, Vienna-based Austrian photographer and artist Matthias Herrmann (b. 1963) returns to the photo studio with an eye toward traditional still life. But these are not the perfect traditional flower-in-a-vase still lives by Robert Mapplethorpe or Irving Penn. Instead, Herrmann strews his images with professional photography equipmentvarious color filters and film packaging along with alluring studio lightingin short, anything that says non-digital and reflecting on photographys 150-year history of technique. Along with over 100 color and black-and-white images, Herrmann folds in a little writing and artentries from his own journals; a poem by fellow artist, collaborator and friend AA Bronson, past member of General Idea; plus four exquisite watercolor portraits by Spanish artist Sito Mjica. This is about the vanishing of classical photography as we knew it, symbolized in its packaging, paraphernalia and fetishes, as Matthias Herrmann writes in one of his journal entries.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Matthias Herrmann setzt in seinem neuen Buch Utensilien der professionellen Fotografie - Farbfilter, Fotopapier- und Filmschachteln, analoge Filmkassetten, Objektive usw. - mittels verführerischem Studiolicht in Szene. Hier kommen die Mittel der analogen fotografischen Abbildungsprozesse selbst als Bildprotagonisten zu letzten Auftritten : sie haben sich überlebt - Farbfilter z.B. haben ihre Funktion mit Aufkommen der digitalen Fotografie längst verloren und sind Relikte einer vergangenen Zeit. Matthias Herrmann macht mit Ironie und Witz, mit Pepp und Sexyness aber auch einem Hauch von Sentimentalität medienreflexiv jene Dinge zum Kunstmotiv, die das Medium in seinem täglichen Gebrauch lange Zeit definiert haben.
