Gudrun Latten

Publicist, Art Critic, Curator and Photographer (freelance)

In December 2013 I've bought a camera and I began taking photographies. I'm concentrating on architectural photography, landscapes and staged scenes. I discuss aesthetic problems and questions with the photographies and I work in series. Research topics are so far the (digital) image and all its qualities, reality and illusion, arthistorical genres, a pluralism in style and signs.

My architectural photographies show details which don't inform about the well known buildings I'm taking pictures of, but function on the plain surface of the picture. It's about geometry and illusion. I use landscape-photographies to debate natural colors and digital colors. The staged scenes are about performativity, signs of daily life and the function of signs.
