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.

The photographs in “you may not need eyes to see” are inspired by both my own experiences and my imagination - then I can’t let the metaphors that are developed go until I’ve realised an image. As a diptych or as a group the images become more meaningful, like a montage or pages of a book. Here are two artists who’s practice I came across recently and who’s methods I relate to. In her practice, Agnes Geoffrey uses a mixture of staged and archival images, making analogies throughout her work, often grouping images to emphasise meaning. Tom Callemin physically manifests images that he has on his mind. Both works have an eeriness and oddity that really draws me in.
