Gudrun Kemsa – Floating Spaces
In the organizer's words:
Gudrun Kemsa sees her photographs and video installations as an aesthetic expansion of everyday perception and thus as an opportunity to rediscover the familiar. Through her photographic work of seemingly everyday scenarios, she opens up unusual approaches that motivate viewers to examine their own visual habits and sensory impressions.
FLOATING SPACES shows photographic images of familiar places in the urban and natural landscape: luxurious shopping streets, ordinary subway stations, metropolitan buildings, trees, parks and green spaces, forests or the sea. In Kemsa's works, these otherwise so familiar places appear strangely alien, unreal, theatrical, exaggeratedly unreal or blurred, softly drawn and nebulous - almost abstract, and thus elude the usual, easily readable accessibility. In the video installations, the pictorial spaces move contemplatively through space and time and have an immediate decelerating effect on the viewer.
The Düsseldorf-based photo and video artist Gudrun Kemsa (*1961) studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. She has been a professor of "Moving Images and Photography" at the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences in Krefeld since 2001. Her artistic work has been recognized with numerous scholarships and awards, including a Villa Massimo scholarship in Rome, and is represented in numerous international collections.
