Photographer #352: Anne Lass

Anne Lass, 1978, Germany/Denmark, studied Communication Design at the University of Duisburg-Essen. Since 2004 she has been working on her project Wandeln. The images for the ongoing project have been taken throughout Europe, Australia and the USA. The landscape photographs constitute small stories within a larger story concerning nature as a displaced and estranged object. In her ongoing project Schwinden she documents places that are dissolving due to climate change and intense building construction on the coastal line, reflecting on the limits of our belief in the "manageability" of our natural surroundings. Anne has had a vast amount of group exhibitions throughout the world and several solo exhibitions in Germany, Danmark and the United States. She has also been featured in numerous publications. The following images come from the series Wandeln, Milwaukee Avenue and Schwinden.

Photographer #171: Asger Carlsen

Asger Carlsen, 1973, Denmark, released a monograph with the title Wrong. The images inside the book seem to be images that anyone could take. They are shot with the built-in flash of a simple camera resembling photographs that one can find in everyone's home. However, the images of Asger are "wrong", they contain elements that are impossible and it's is hard to see how the photographer has achieved this. Carlsen' photography is disturbing, humorous and well composed. The following images come from the book Wrong and the series Hester.
