Joe Gasior’s project „Road Less Travelled“ follows an old route from the North to the South of England. This route is now obsolete due to the introduction of mass transit and high-speed transit routes. The intention was to catalogue a variety of waypoints along the route, to showcase that the idea of travel was not simply a means to an end. The actual act of travelling was, and still is an existential statement. (mehr …)
‚NOT EVEN BUT ALMOST‘ (NEBA), 2008-2010 is an investigative look at the unsatisfying structures and ideals of contemporary life. Through the unconscious creation of perpetually unsatisfactory situations, certain inherent flaws in human nature are highlighted. Control and power are translated into containment and confinement. The harmonizing intent of constructed nature creates yet another spectacle. The intuited energy I find everywhere, in everything heightens my sensitivity to the cyclic, almost-understanding these conditions create. In this way, the mundane becomes the monumental.
Through this work I look to present my interpretation of the pursuit of happiness as a disguise for a larger quest for wholeness.“ (mehr …)
„Frail“ (2010 – 2011)
‘Frail’ is about those everyday moments when everything collapses. Small instants where our life changes, spins and breaks. Suspended moments in which something has just happened or is about to. Situations in which time, objects and places lose their physical nature and are full of us. Tiny fragments of life which, when put together, redefine our idea of control of ourselves and the world around us. We are vulnerable in the everyday. (mehr …)
„Few people know what they look like from behind. This book consists photographs selected from my work between 2003 and 2007, might be seen as mirrors in a fitting room.
During the tough process of sequencing, scanning and dust-removing, I repeatedly stared at these portraitures and their fine details, sometimes seeing nothing, sometimes seeing something behind what I was looking at.“

Produced over a period of two years, Attention Seekers are a personal portrayal and playful response to everyday scenes, arbitrary spaces and people encountered by photographer Miriam O’ Connor.
While the ordinary or the everyday are habitually tied up with concepts of familiarity and routine, it is here that O’ Connor discovers infinite possibilities for image making, slicing out its details which petition for attention and assimilate allure. The series is characterised by its fragmentary nature, where the interplay of colour, form, scale and sequencing exhibit ambiguous clues and mischievous impressions of O’ Connor’s voyages into the familiar terrain of the everyday.

„I have been working on this photo series with my Nokia 6300 mobile phone for over 3 years now. Most pictures are taken by night or under bad light conditions. It’s only then that I achieve the desired effect of coarseness and picture noise. This work is strongly related to Berlin, its dark streets, dimly lit bars, crowded clubs and, above all, its people. I chose to work with a mobile phone camera for several reasons: (mehr …)
