Artist Blog

Every week an artist whose single image was published by Der Greif is given a platform in which to blog about contemporary photography.

While i was working on my »Come to Venice« project, about the loss of identity of people living in my beloved city, Venice, I got in connection with Hanna Husberg and Laura McLean. They were working on a great project about the Maldives, about their environmental and human condition, »Contingent Movements Archive« (Maldives Pavilion, 55th Venice Biennale). In synthesis, we were both working on disappearing islands. I take this occasion to thank Hanna and Laura to represent the human state of emergency in art. I think one of the most important role of art is to convert conventional crisis in unconventional beauty and to convert conventional beauty in unconventional crisis. www.contingentmovementsarchive.com cometovenice.tumblr.com
