"photographers:network - Selection 2005"
2005-06-24 until 2005-07-03
Studio Thomas Kellner
Siegen, , DE Germany

The exhibition shows work by 26 photographers from 10 countries. Photographers and artists trade pictures - many of us do. Each photographer is represented by one selected picture, each traded for one of Thomas Kellner's. In this project, Thomas Kellner invited one hundred photographers world wide to trade an image with him. Out of more than a hundred submissions, the jury (comprised of Thomas Gerwers, Profifoto, Germany; Thomas Poller, Galerie Poller, Frankfurt/Germany and Alison Nordstrom, George Eastman House Rocherster/USA and Thomas Kellner, project coordinator) selected 26 photos to be traded and for the exhibition in Siegen.

The exhibition shows work by artists that are at the same time on a similar path like Thomas Kellner. He gives us the opportunity to see images of his colleagues, whom he meets at festivals and other events somewhere in the world. The photographs are as different as the individuals who make them. There is figurative work, architectural, abstract and experimental photography. Each photograph showing a different reality: a documented reality, transformed realities, collaged and abstract realities. The end result is a collection of contemporary work and a network, where photographers can connect and help each other in building their careers. The exhibition will be acompanied by a printed portfolio in Profifoto,Germany, showing all the selected images.
