To explore contemporaneity through photography, it’s in the still life field that research becomes necessary. Despite being a genre in which the relationship with the viewer is much less direct, it still is the most capable of registering the spirit of the age. It deals with composition, objects set one next to another, of which we are able to perceive with immediacy only their physical part but not the elements of iconicity and meanings that are offered to our interpretation. Objects and their meanings become the two sides of the coin: they are inseparable and keep referencing each other.
Our third issue is devoted to still life and is curated by Thomas Albdorf, who has selected for us some of the most representative upcoming authors in the photography field that has the most to do with contemporary art and its defining itself. We have asked Albdorf a few questions about his thoughts on Disturber’s Still Life.
Thomas Albdorf was born in Linz in 1982 and is now based in Vienna, Austria. After working as graphic designer and art director, he is now studying Transmediale Kunst at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna. His work has been exhibited in Europe and in the US. You can find more of his work on his website and his Tumblr.
