Open Everyday 10:30 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Educated at Gothenburg University, Helena Blomqvist’s dream-like imagery transports us into the subconscious.
Blomqvist works intuitively, condensing and translating her impressions and experiences into a visual language with intricate and subjective stories that are uniquely her own. She builds a world by hand using models and props, into tiny scenographies piece by piece for her photographs. Blomqvist’s work has been widely exhibited, and during 2012 she had a big exhibition at Swedish Museum of Photography in Stockholm.
Her projects include ‘Florentine‘ – an exhibition of images, as seen through the eyes of a faded ballerina, whose mental state and solitude colour her rich life story. Another project, ‘The Last Golden Frog’, thrusts apes into a central role in exploring the sorrow, friendship and conflict of the human condition, amidst a growing climate crisis.

ESRA ÖZDOĞAN
Yapı Kredi bomontiada Fourth Floor,
1-11 October
Open Everyday 10:30 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Esra Özdoğan conceives of her photographic production as the translation of certain themes and myths into images. Her photographs are not two-dimensional, flat and material surfaces offering the faithful traces of past reality, but rather the fictional form of a story or a plot that is open to plural readings. She strives to construct her photographs, which at times reference art history, using a literary conception of temporality. In her works that question photographic reality, she creates a visual-dramatical structure that rests not so much on external reality as on staging, abstract concepts, symbolic gestures, and literature.
Esra Özdoğan works as a freelance writer and photographer. During her graduate work she studied Literary Criticism at Sorbonne Nouvelle LGC (Paris III) and wrote her dissertation on “The Rewriting of Myths in 20th Century French Literature.” Having lecturered at Istanbul University, between 1994 and 2001, she went on to work as editor at Yapı Kredi Publications and CAN Publishing between 2001 and 2005, and since 2001 she has served on the editorial boards of various culture and art magazines. Özdoğan received her MA in Photography, from Marmara University in 2019. Her photographs were first exhibited as part of the Mamut Art Project, in 2018. Her works are now part of many Turkish and international collections and will be included in two group exhibitions scheduled in 2021.

THOMAS ALBDORF
Yapı Kredi bomontiada Fourth Floor,
1-11 October
Open Everyday 10:30 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
*Supported by the Austrian Cultural Forum Istanbul.
Thomas Albdorf‘s main interest focuses on photography and sculpture – in particular, the intersection area between both practices, their shifting perceptions, the contemporary status quo of the photographic image and the decontextualization caused by internet distribution. He conceives photography not as the single act of releasing the shutter, but as chain of decisions that ranges from the object’s or subject’s staging to post-processing and the then published image in various media. The basic photograph doesn’t officiate as an enclosed image rather than a space of possibilities and probabilities, primarily enabled via digital post production processes that often leave their visible marks in the final work, revealing their source as well as bringing their conditions of production up for discussion.
Thomas Albdorf was born in Linz, Upper Austria in 1982. After working for several years as a Graphic Designer and Art Director, he studied Transmedia Art at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna, where he graduated in 2013. He was selected as one of 30 international “Artists to Watch” by British Journal of Photography in 2014; he won the UNSEEN Amsterdam Talent Award in 2016. He had his first institutional solo show „Room With a View“ in 2018 at FOAM Amsterdam, followed by his solo show „Mirror Mirror“ at Museum Folkwang in Essen / Germany in 2019. His work has been exhibited throughout galleries in Europe & the United States, and he has been featured / interviewed in magazines and blogs like FOAM Magazine, British Journal of Photography, The New Yorker, The Guardian and many more. He currently lives and works in Vienna, Austria.

‘Elsewhere’
Israel/Jordan, 2008
There are places in which our being has the sensation of unfolding, of living the moment fully, in a feeling of absolute where time seems to expand to infinity. I met such moments before the majestic and powerful landscapes of Israel and Jordan, on the shores of the Dead Sea. The approach to the sensory landscape is inherent in my photographic vision. In the past, I have encountered this type of feeling mainly in front of a sea horizon: facing the Atlantic, or the North Sea/serie «Utopia», or in the encounter with the landscapes of Iceland and Canada/serie «Absolute Nature». The encounter with the desert was a new and profound experience opening to another dimension, the feeling of being, not only in front of a horizon, nor in the middle of a landscape, but truly in the heart of a horizon of sand open on all sides.

Diana Artus is a visual artist and writer dealing with the perception of urban space and its imagery as well as with topics like narration, memory production, the ambiguous nature of desire, contemporary concepts of love and self-constitution. She is especially interested in the interdependency between city and mood and explores public representation and urban objects from an associative-metaphorical point of view. Photography provides the base of her creative process resulting in reinterpretations of urban phenomena and architectural bodies, often taking the form of sculptural image objects or images of images. In addition she also writes articles and essays to reflect on current conditions of work and creative production with a special focus on the sociology of art.
Artus’ art works evolve from all the material which comes across her way while strolling randomly through different cities: photographs she takes, found footage, visual/textual notes. She uses a small digital camera serving as seismographic device to record ‚psychogeographic shocks‘ – the accidential, the provisional, the fragile and the contradictory are especially attractive to the artist. After finding their way into her archive these photographs later initiate a process of analog transformation, consisting of repeated reproduction, distortions and interferences, error and interactions between ‚outer’ and ‚inner’ images. The limits of the photographic medium are constantly stretched and transcended, transforming digital photographs into unique originals characterized by an analog character and a haptic materiality.
Besides Diana Artus also started to extensively work with old photo novel magazines found on South European flea markets, subjecting their imagery, characters and stories to an actualization and recontextualization with the aim to revisit and to reuse this genre and its narrative potential.

İnsanların yerkürede bir arada ve diğer türlerle birlikte yaşamayı başaramamış olması sonucu yaşanan felaketleri doğal afet olarak adlandırmak ne kadar doğru? Belki de can çekişen, yıkılan ve yanan bizzat uygarlığın kendisidir. Bilim insanları dünyada, türümüzün varlığının artık geri döndürülemez bir yıkım sürecine girildiğinden emin. Bu bilgiye sahip olan ayrıcalıklı bir azınlık şimdiden gezegeni terk etmenin yollarını arıyor, elbette yeniden tüketecek kaynaklar bulmak adına. Fakat bu fetihçi düşüncenin tam tersi yöne doğru zarifçe yürüyen, yaşamdan ve yerleşmekten bahseden başkaları da var. Onlara göre bu an itibariyle aldığımız her soluk, canlı ve cansız tüm varlıklara olan borcumuzla anlamlandığı sürece “başka bir kıyamet mümkün!”
Kahramanvari bir kurtuluş vaadi taşımayan bir iyileşme fikri sanatta, bilimde, felsefede dünyanın pek çok noktasında, aynı anda filizleniyor. Çocukların dilinde, köylülerin dilinde, sanatçıların dilinde çoğalıyor bu çağrı. Felaketlerin açtığı yaralardan sızan ve sosyal medyanın araçlarıyla yerküreyi dolaşan bu ortaklaşma arzusunu hissetmek için biraz yavaşlamak yeterli. İnsanın doğa ile, tarih ile, yaşam ile yeniden ilişkilenmesinin olasılıkları belki de şimdi, son bir kez ve acilen tartışılıyor.
Türün bedeni tüm maddiliğiyle kırılganlığı deneyimledi. İnsan kendi ölümlülüğünü, üstelik kolektif biçimde hatırladı. Bireyin kendini gerçekleştirmek adına canlı ve cansız her şeye savaş açtığı seferin sonunda, diğerkâmlığın, merhametin, inceliğin hayatta kalmak için gereken en güçlü nitelikler olduğunu konuşur olduk. Hayvanların ve bitkilerin bilgeliklerine kulak kabartıyor, inşaat gürültüsünden sağır olmuş kulaklarla bir şeyler duymaya çalışıyoruz. Zehirlediğimiz toprağa ve suya sanki ilk kez şefkatle dokunuyoruz. Mitler, ritüeller, tinsellik bir başka geçmişten geri çağırıyor insanı. İşte tüm bunları gördükçe sanatçılar geliyor aklımıza. Çağının şamanı, bilgesi, felsefecisi, mucidi, şifacısı olmuş sanatçılar; zihin, beden ve vicdan arasında gündelik çıkarlarla bağ kurmayı reddetmiş olanlar; geçmişsiz ve ütopyasız kalmış bir dünyanın ihtiyaç duyduğu hassasiyeti, şimdi ve burada nasıl duyumsayacağımıza dair meditasyonda onlara her zaman olduğundan daha çok ihtiyacımız var.

Throughout his 25-year career, Levon’s work has covered a wide range of photographic genres, including portraiture, documentary and sport. His work continues to be exhibited around the world and his prints are housed in numerous museum and private collections. Levon’s passion for nature and photography came together in 2016 to create the multi-award winning project Microsculpture, a unique photographic study of insects in mind-blowing magnification that took the genre of macro photography to an entirely new level. Levon adapted traditional techniques to create a photographic process that revealed the minute details of insects in a resolution never seen before. It has been described as a beautiful marriage between art and science. Levon’s exhibitions display photographs printed in large-scale formats, with insects only a millimetre long being presented as 3 metre high prints. Each image takes 4 weeks to create and is produced from up to 10,000 individual photographs using microscope lenses. For the last 5 years, the Microsculpture exhibition has travelled through Europe, the Middle East and the USA with solo shows in over 21 countries. Levon’s photography has graced the covers of TIME, The New York Times and GQ and he continues to work in close collaboration with the leading museums around the world to bring their hidden collections to a global audience.

Fine art photographer and craftsman, Christian Tagliavini, was born in Switzerland in 1971. Christian’s evocative images represent just the final stage in his artistic process. A self-taught photographer, Christian originally trained as an architect and worked as a graphic designer.
His interest in photography was sparked in 2000, at a photographic exhibition in Milan. Fascinated by the technical aspects of photography, he tried his hand at several photographic disciplines before discovering that the mise-en-scène technique was the most effective way to capture the stories that lived in his imagination.
Each costume is fashioned to Christian’s detailed designs, including the fabric and colour choices, and made to measure for each model. Where possible, Tagliavini prefers to work with non-professional models, drawing inspiration from their spontaneity and curiosity. Christian Tagliavini won the Hasselblad Masters Fine Art Category in 2012 and the IPA Fine Art: Portrait prize in 2013. His work has been exhibited in many art galleries and museums worldwide.

LIA: CODING LIFE
Kalyon Kültür,
1 October – 27 November
Open Everyday 10:30 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
The artist’s primary working material is code, which consists of LIA translating a concept into a formal written structure that then can be used to create a “machine” that generates real-time multimedia outputs. Since her concept is fluid – opposed to the formality of the written code that requires engineered precision – the translation process between machine and artist can be viewed like a conversation. The process is repeated until LIA is satisfied with the machine’s interpretation; at which point the generative framework, in which the artwork can develop, is considered finished.
LIA’s works combine traditions of drawing and painting with the aesthetics of digital images and algorithms, characterized by a minimalist quality and by an affinity with conceptual art. She focuses on the translation of certain experienced principles into abstract forms, movements and colours in order to allow the viewer to explore the same on a subconscious level.
LIA lives and works in Vienna.
