Annette Kelm
°1975, Stuttgart (DE) – lives and works in Berlin (DE)
Themes of seeing and displaying, the constructed nature of images, as well as the disclosure of the circumstances of their production, run through Annette Kelm’s work, in which documentary and staged images stand alongside one another.
In her still lifes, portraits, landscape and architectural photographs, Kelm documents modern everyday culture and often uses object photography to do so. Removed from their original context and transferred to new constellations, their motifs evoke associations that reveal artistic, historical and socio-cultural references.
