Chris Engman – Landscapes. Berlin - L.A Trilogie I
27 Nov 2015 - 23 Jan 2016 68projects“Landscapes” is an exhibition by photographer Chris Engman, who is based in LA, and the first part of our Berlin – LA trilogy. Following an invitation by 68projects, Engman worked in Berlin for two months during the summer of 2015. The result is an impressive series of photos, which again questions the connection between image and reality and thus exposes our conventional seeing habits. The works from his Berlin studio are juxtaposed with photos taken on the West coast of the US, many of them in the desert.Read more
At the origin of Chris Engman’s work, there is an idea, a concept and in-depth research. Themes immanent to photography, such as time, transience, light and the question of reproducing reality, are central to his work. Here the artist primarily works with deception, illusion and the irritation of the spectator.
