Photographer Barbara Kasten adopts an experimental approach to the medium inspired
by the Bauhaus and Constructivism. Often creating abstracted images of interior
architectural settings, she uses photography to create dynamic reinterpretations of
familiar environments.
Using a variety of materials, including plastic, mesh, Plexiglas, lighting gels, and mirrors,
Kasten constructs large-scale scenes that are designed to maximize the contrast
between light and shadow and to create as much interior reflection as possible. She
then photographs the sets, aiming to capture the geometric and abstract forms created
through her treatment rather than the original tableau itself.
Kasten has also created video installations in which patterns of light and shadow are
projected onto mirrors, spilling across the gallery space and transforming it into a total
perceptual experience.

born
in
December

2008
after
graduating
from
Temple
with
bachelor
degrees
in

She
began
creating
self-‐portraits
for
ease
and
to
have
full
control
over
the
images,
and
has
since

grown
into
a
self-‐portrait
fine
art
photographer.
Self-‐portraiture
for
her
is
not
autobiographical

in
nature.
Instead,
she
places
herself
within
environments
she
wishes
to
explore,
where
secrets

are
exposed,
impossibilities
are
tested,
and
life
is
questioned
in
eras
beyond
our
own.

Brooke
works
to
capture
fantastic
realities
within
her
photographic
frame.
By
using
painterly

techniques
as
well
as
the
square
format,
traditional
photographic
properties
are
replaced
by

otherworldly
elements.

Andreana Scanderbeg (born 1969 in Los Angeles) and Alexander Sauer (born 1971 in
Frankfurt am Main) work together as SCANDERBEG SAUER since 2005. The team
combines high creativity with extensive experience in the field of international production
management and control.
Extremely loud, extremely dirty, extremely distant locations to most of the people – you
can bet that there’s where they will be. Their photographic work is primarily focused on
the meeting of the corporate, industrial and personal, all characterized by a unique visual
expression and consistent vision. In their own words „Our goal is to let your visual
communications stand out from the crowd!“

JEAN-FRANCOIS RAUZIER
Hyper Photography
JEAN-FRANÇOIS RAUZIER French b. 1952
Jean-Francois Rauzier is an internationally acclaimed photographer, who has had museum
shows in Paris, Moscow, Los Angeles and Washington DC. Waterhouse & Dodd is his
exclusive agent in the USA, UK and Middle East and has shown his work in exhibitions and
fairs in New York, Palm Beach, Miami, Los Angeles, Abu Dhabi, Maastricht and London,
selling over 200 of his ‘Hyperphotos'.
Rauzier carefully composes each work from elements and images he has collected over
many years, working in some ways more like a painter than a photographer, creating his
own supernatural man-made world. Using digital technology, he cuts, moves and
constructs buildings, gardens, animals, and many other objects, carefully collected during
long photographic sessions to inspire a new fantastic landscape, a capricious picture or a
baroque masterpiece. He strives to transform the world according to his dreams, wishes
and anxieties, and to recreate the magic and secrecy of ancient legends and stories using
21st century media.

Ola Kolehmainen
Photography
In his monumental photographs of modern architecture, Ola Kolehmainen zeroes in
on a building’s unremarkable details, reducing facades to simple forms and blocks of
color evocative of abstract Minimalist paintings.
Titles such as “Milano Wall Painting” confirm this notion as much as the images to
which they refer—the photographs in this series feature a mustard-yellow background
punctuated by various black and/or off-white linear shapes. Only rarely does an
element of a building’s surrounding environment, such as a bird or a cloud, make its
way into the frame. Mounted on shiny acrylic glass, the photographs are also notable
for their glossiness. Kolehmainen’s work exemplifies the Helsinki School’s
dedication to realizing high concept, thematic photographic series.

THOMAS POPINGER
Photography
Thomas Popinger (born 1958 in Vienna)
Thomas lives and works in Hamburg since 1998 and is one of Germany’s leading
interior photographers. In his own words, „I try to blur the borders between reality
and fiction“.
This unique look is based on him designing and planning almost all the sets that
he works on, and the special focus he puts on outstanding lightning.
Thomas tells us he does not try to imitate nature; rather that his aim is to give his
pictures personality and an unmistakeable profile. His remarkable style of
photography is trusted for the campaigns of leading brands.

Gaetana (Gae), Aulenti was one of the few Italian women to rise to
prominence in architecture and design in the postwar years. Her work
includes villas for the rich, showrooms for Fiat, shops for Olivetti, pens
and watches for Louis Vuitton, and a coffee table on wheels that is in
the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Gae was best known for her work on interiors, particularly those of
museums. She designed museum renovations in Venice, Barcelona,
Istanbul and San Francisco. In 1981 she was chosen to turn the 1900
Beaux Arts Gare d’Orsay train station, a spectacular landmark
originally designed by Victor Laloux, into the Musée d’Orsay, a
museum of mainly French art from 1848 to 1915.

Heinz Wuchner, born 1950 in the dark corners of the
black forest, is a still-live photographer specialized in
food and liquids.
Settled in Frankfurt am Main he is someone who enjoys experimenting and challenging himself in
new fields of his art. Therefore his latest passion became editorial photography (e.g jewelry & food).
Heinz likes to play with the relation of art & craft in photography but would like to always let the
technical aspect fade away in respect of the aesthetic. He is a purist that enjoys the clarity and first
impact of an image.

Wolf Dieter Böttcher
We all are looking at an object and connect it immediately to a function, to a
meaning. After that it is identified, classified, checked off. In my work I try to
separate the object from the meaning, I look at it in a new approach to give it its own
meaning as an object. Out of that new relations between objects are growing. I am
interested in the secret life of things.“
