CHOR — Collectors Edition

Robert Schlotter — Wed, 26 May 2021 11:30:36 +0000

CHOR unites photographic works by Florian Glaubitz, which he created in 2018 and 2019 on commission at the University of Münster. Accompanied by a text contributed by Adrian Williams and an interview between Ursula Frohne and the artist, Glaubitz’ large-format close-ups form a sensitive photographic essay about the scientific community on the university campus as a polyphonic organism in motion.

“[Florian Gaubitz’] portrait depicts the institution as an amalgamation of ideas and intentions united geographically, entertained within structures, a concept made up of so many variable parts. … This is the Choir.” — Adrian Williams

Robert Schlotter — Thu, 07 Jan 2021 12:20:22 +0000

“I met Meena in 2006 when I first visited Mumbai. We chatted and took a picture. Back in Germany, I sent her our photo: To Meena, Chowpatty Beach, Mumbai, India. The letter actually reached the homeless family. That was the beginning of our close friendship, which has now lasted 13 years. Together with Meena, an unusual woman full of energy and warmth, this book was created about her, us and her family.“ — Helena Schätzle

A colorful, lively book about a woman full of contagious soulfulness and love. Meena’s life story: with notes from her diary and photographs by Helena Schätzle.

Eternal Error — Collectors Edition

Robert Schlotter — Fri, 10 Apr 2020 21:32:54 +0000

The individual works move consciously at the border of the photographic image. They are lab experiments, developed from moments where the light, the chemical process of development, dominated the depicted. Photography is always an entanglement of visibility and invisibility, visualizationand withdrawal, knowledge and imagination: as often as photographs are seen, they are also testimonies of a past that remains unobservable. Concentrating on the visibility of the image often leaves the process of visualization too short, ignoring the production process in favor of what you see in a photo. The work places these questions at the limits of visibility, at the borders between the intentional and the unintentional. It switches perspectives, manipulate pieces to let the material compete against the sign: the view as a gateway for inevitabilities of all kinds.

YOUTH – Collectors Edition

Robert Schlotter — Wed, 25 Mar 2020 20:41:28 +0000

Y O U T H focusses photographically and linguistically on the structures of the rural life of village teenagers in Germany. The work challenges identification and interconnectedness, team play and group dynamic in local groups, clubs and circles of friends. Which role do youth-culture and fashion, “home” and tradition play in times of an increasing political shift to the right and glorification of life in the country-side? In the book, which is created in line with the exhibition project, the photographs are accompanied by the essay Idealized Images of Rural Life: Between Right-Wing Ideology and the Romanticism of the Everyday by Yasmin El Sayed, as well as an essay and interview with Kathi Seemann about her photographic work.

FUNGI – Collectors Edition

Robert Schlotter — Tue, 18 Jun 2019 20:00:02 +0000

Fungi are the oldest living species on our planet. They build and spread their communities across human borders, continents, laws … They take over land without asking permission. They clean up toxic messes in disturbed landscapes and shake the land back to life to create livable grounds for animals, plants and maybe humans. They have the power to transport energy between weaker and stronger trees, to keep forests alive or to kill them. Their spores are invisible and spread and spread and spread. — Dries Segers

Photographed in Dudenpark, Brussels in autumn 2018.

Beyond Cold War – Collectors Edition

Robert Schlotter — Sun, 07 Jun 2015 17:03:43 +0000

Beyond Cold War is based on the examination of confrontation areas of the Cold War in Europe. Border regions on which the NATO states and those of the Warsaw Pact stood face to face to each other.
During the Cold War the observers were always observed, too. The feeling of observing and simultaneously being observed, the assumed harassment through the antagonist, the alertness and awaiting (action and reaction) are the central starting points of my work. For both sides there was the question about the world behind the border, because both were stamped by massive cultural and political differences, laboured by analogous propaganda.

Jürgen Kühner on Beyond Cold War

“[…] Schlotter’s photographs only take effect at second glance. It is only through the context that they change from generic landscape photographs to a socio-political analysis with the conclusion that borders can run anywhere and at any time, that no structures are needed to separate countries and people.”

Dear Clark, – Edition

Robert Schlotter — Thu, 26 Sep 2013 15:44:57 +0000

The work of Sara-Lena Maierhofer evolves around the life of a stranger. In Dear Clark, the artist tries to approach Clark Rockefeller, a con man whose life consisted of adopting and abandoning different identities. When she fails to arrange a meeting with the person in question, she decides to study him from a distance. Step by step, the artist comes closer to getting to know her subject; his appearance, his peculiarities, his intentions. How can one construct a profile of someone who constantly readjusts himself? What characterizes a man who systematically defies character? How do you grab someone who constantly aims to breakaway? — Sara-Lena Maierhofer

Artist book in English language with three fold-out pages and eleven tip-ins. Hardcover with changeant cloth binding and silkscreen printing.

Robert Schlotter — Wed, 24 Jul 2013 19:00:31 +0000

Three residency periods in Paris led to the series Et dans ce cas seulement. The pictures form a new chapter in Scenes of Wonder, a constantly growing collection of landscapes and cityscapes. In this work Marianne Hommersom focuses on the traces of human presence, light, textures, colors and on the way these elements come together in an often alienating, sometimes funny way.

No. 1 – 10 and No. 11 – 20 of Et Dans Ce Cas Seulement are issued as a numbered & signed collectors edition including a C-print.
