About the artist
Annette Kelm (born in Stuttgart in 1975) creates conceptual photographs that deal with the conventions of seeing and showing as well as the contrivednature of images, laying bare the circumstances under which these images are produced. In her still lifes, portraits, landscape and architecture photographs, Kelm documents everyday modern culture, frequently making use of object photography to do so. Taken out of their original context and set in new arrangements, her motifs evoke associations that highlight artistic, historical, and sociocultural references.
