Locations between the Spheres

Andy Heller, Oliver Krebs, Jan Lemitz

The photographs of Andy Heller, Oliver Krebs and Jan Lemitz peer into the ‘in-between’, exploring places between worlds and offering a surprisingly intimate view of the fragmentations that characterize our time. In Ostersbaum, Andy Heller searches for and finds constellations of an urban landscape that came about as the result of chance. At the same time, nothing is unplanned, not a single millimetre wasted in the convoluted architecture, so the pictures are snapshots of a temporary settlement of the in-between. Oliver Krebs presents globally textured images in which people invent their niches, overcome contradictions and nonetheless merge into ornament. According to the photographer, the images come from the ‘hinterland of the self’. With The Registration Machine, Jan Lemitz adds a temporal plane to the ensemble. Events connected to the construction of the Eurotunnel in Calais have left their traces. Images condense into stories and a smallest common multiplicity that must now be deciphered.

Informal Photography (in English)

Lecture by David Evans

Informal is a flexible, hardworking adjective. For instance, the term informal art (l’ art informel) generally refers to various forms of abstract painting in the mid-20th Century that stressed gesture and improvisation. Informal architectures deal with spaces that are in some way temporary, contingent, marginal – all lacking the thumbprint of the professional. Informal economies are based on bartering, mutual self-help, odds jobs, street trading, and so on – worldwide activities that tend to escape state control. The notion of an informal photography is up for grabs. Our exhibition presents some possibilities.
