Featured Artist: Lisa Wassmann

West Berlin Gallery proudly presents LISA WASSMANN‘s first solo show in Berlin from August 5th to September 5th. The exhibition will give a first general overview of the photographer’s works carried out over the last three years.

As a photographer, LISA WASSMANN earnestly oscillates between precision relating to crafts and cool digital aesthetics, hence creating a subtle interaction motif between these two aspects. Both Berlin club culture and unbelievable landscapes are featured in a selection of her favourite shots she has chosen for the show. This selection of mostly unpublished photos, specifically represents the artist’s perspective towards her work; and questions whether showing inner feelings has got a price and discusses how to convey intimate feelings into the open. as she was preparing the exhibition, LISA WASSMANN worked on the principle of representation on several levels: the photographs alone are not at the core of the show; their limited reproducibility and framing techniques restored her digital photography prints to ‘pictures’ in the traditional meaning of term. The unique pieces are developed in such a way, acquiring a clear delimitation from the outside and bear a tense interrelation between tradition and present.

The photographs have been issued as a limited edition of three copies each. Framed pictures will be available only as unique pieces.

LISA WASSMANN‘s previous exhibitions include: Hinterconti, Hamburg in 2008.

Publications of her works include: Sleek Flora & Fauna in 2010, Zeitmagazin in 2009 and 2010, Derzeit in 2010, Süddeutsche in 2009 , Vice Magazine in 2007/2008/2009, Dazed&Confused UK 2009

You’re warmly invited on Thursday 5th of August from 19:00 on for the opening of LISA WASSMANN‘s show. The evening will be completed with music and drinks to make it a date.
