The photographic image plays a crucial role; both as source material (primarily that of found images from the web), and via specially created or constructed images. Ganser recontextualises this image-archive into her own pictorial spaces, in order to create new spatial images. Thus, her work goes beyond the conventional concept of room installation to that of an actual, walkable spatial image. Questions around authorship, such as that of each source material photograph, including the artistic status of such images are important themes in Ganser’s work. | | | | | | Bodenansicht #2,(Otto I., Landsat Sculpture), from the series "Digitale Ruinen" Lambda Print, 80 x 60 cm, 2018 Kathrin Ganser / VG Bildkunst | | | | Artistically, Ganser examines theoretical questions that become aesthetic in practice: the spaces she creates are fascinating and exploratory, destinations of true conceptual adventure travel. Here the viewer can tap into memory and projection, reality and fiction in a mesmerising and coalescing manner. Kathrin Ganser studied at the Kunsthochschule Halle (with Prof. Una H. Moehrke) and at the UdK (Berlin University of the Arts), with among others, Prof. Katharina Sieverding. She completed her doctorate in 2014 at the Bauhaus University Weimar with a thesis in art and media philosophy. Ganser’s work is highly awarded, most recently with the Kempten Art Prize 2017 and a scholarship from the Bauhaus University Weimar. In 2018 she presented recent works in the solo exhibition "terrestre" at Kunsthalle Kempten. Kathrin Ganser lives and works in Berlin. | | | | | | Untitled (Aux), from the series "Digitale Ruinen" Fine Art Print, 100 x 85 cm, 2018 Kathrin Ganser / VG Bildkunst | | | | unsubscribe here Newsletter was sent to newsletter@newslettercollector.com © 11 Feb 2019 photo-index UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Ziegelstr. 29 .
