Harald Popp: Fotografien

Harald Popp's monograph offers an overview of his work from the last nine years . The photographs explore the relationship between digital images and their effects on our everyday perception of reality. Starting from the assumption that we deal with manipulated digital images on a daily basis, Popp works with this uncertainty precisely by not manipulating his images digitally, but by carefully creating scenarios by hand. By condensing everyday objects such as vases, books and bric-a-brac on the formal level of photography, he flattens the separation between these objects and their image. In this way, experiments are created that emphasize elements such as pattern, colour and depth as much as the function of the image itself. The publication includes essays by Esther Ruelfs, Kerstin Stakemeier, Stephanie Weber, Nicole Buesing & Heiko Klaas. An English translation of the texts can be found on the back of the removable poster.
