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.

I can’t wait

Feb 15, 2023 - Kai-Uwe Gundlach

Everything does something together. 

Every movement, every conversation, and every touch starts something in us. 

It doesn’t matter whether everything makes sense or not.

 

Personally, I like the tension. 

But even more, I like the harmony. 

When everything corresponds comfortably with each other, like in an orchestra. 

In the artistic context, I like the nonsense, and the disharmony. 

It appeals to me when something doesn’t make sense.

 

This series was created in 2020. 

A friend and great photographic artist Felix Schoeppner inspired me to try his way of working. 

He often needs days to create a set for one of his pictures. 

But I am far too impatient for that and it only took me 10-15 minutes to take each picture. 

I wanted to create many images in a short time without much frippery. 

Without thinking about meaningfulness. Simply by quickness.
