Presenting at Unseen 2014

At Unseen Photo Fair 2014 in Amsterdam, New Window presents new works by Ola Lanko, Willem Popelier and Simon Wald-Lasowski.

Every photographer presents his work in a custom made cabinet – an offline ‘new window’ in which the realization process of the work is shown, in ways as diverse as the works themselves. The final works are for sale at the event.

Simon Wald-Lasowski’s 42 × 1€ deals with the world of the bargain store - a world in which objects are cheaply made, thoughtlessly bought and carelessly thrown away. By presenting them in a new context, he reevaluates these objects and shows his respect and appreciation for their usually overlooked qualities.

Willem Popelier focuses on the politics of photographic representations of identity. He analyzed thousands of selfies, tips and research articles on selfies and made The Do It Yourselfie Guide - the ultimate guide with 66 rules and 66 Identity Pictures on how to capture the best version of yourself.

Ola Lanko’s Unfixed is a series of unfixed silver gelatin prints placed behind red glass to slow down their inevitable fading process. The photos represent non-existing vases that are a result of combining light, movement and the camera's ability to capture a single moment in time. Unfixed is a comment on the unstable nature of photography and plays with the concept of temporality in both subject and medium.

Unseen will take place from 18 to 21 September 2014 at Amsterdam’s Westergasfabriek.
