Selection by Ingo Taubhorn
Luca Tombolini LS V #18, Morocco, 2014
»Several thousand photographic submissions that I had to select from. A broad field. A curatorial idea was necessary: photography articulates itself within series. Single photographic images, pulled out of their serial context, are combined in coherent triads (tryptichs) through classification in genres. The interspaces of the images offer a first interpretation. The digital space enables the viewer to get to the photographer’s website through his or her profile, in order to put the single image back into a series and to assemble the context. Thus, the publication in »Guest-Room« becomes an invitation card to many complex solo exhibitions. A convincing concept that shows: a curated digital space can in fact be an answer to the never ending image-flood in the web. I thank all involved photographers for their trust to take part with their images in this successful experiment.«
