Sergey Maximishin:Rural Church, Aramus, Armenia
Sergey Maximishin’s portfolio, mostly from Russia, ranges from whimsical to bizarre, showing scenes of unusual everyday life. This is among the best photo works I’ve ever seen, simply stunning.
Testing: Abstract
Sunday, August 30th, 2009 | abstract, artists, decay, gallery | 3 Comments
One of my favorite artists is @davespertine, a London photographer I know from DeviantArt. Dave’s photography is abstract to various degrees, and he strictly refrains from explaining what his work is based on – it’s there for enjoyment and interpretation, not understanding.
Having seen and commented so much of Dave’s work, I decided to dip my feet into abstract waters. I’d love to hear what you have to say about my first three pictures.
Exhibition: “Industrieromantik” in Zurich
Saturday, August 29th, 2009 | artists, decay, exhibitions | No Comments
If you’re in Zurich one of these days, check out Dy Tammy Wyssgott’s and Holger Schimanke’s exhibition “Industrieromantik” (industrial romance) at Rote Fabrik. Tammy and Holger display about 25 of their industrial and decay photographs; the exhibit includes sad and sensual details of factories and residences, as well as contrast-rich architectural structures. Also, the exhibition is inside a cool alternative restaurant, just by the lake, which features great fruit cake. Check it out.
Exhbition homepage: “Industrieromantik” (until 14 September 2009)
Exhibition location: Ziegel Oh Lac (part of Rote Fabrik)
“Ghosts of Prypiat”, by Carlos Latuff
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009 | artists, project wormwood | 1 Comment
Over DeviantArt, I was contacted by Carlos Latuff, a political cartoonist and photographer from Brazil. We talked about Chernobyl, and he decided to draw a special artwork based on one of my pictures from Pripyat. I feel really flattered!
Be sure to check out Latuff’s other artwork on DeviantArt, very powerful (and Creative Commons licensed)!

This is part five of my travel photo journal to the Chernobyl zone of exclusion. Check out the Chernobyl Journal page for the full story, all pictures, videos and sounds.

Because of our group member’s different paces and interests, we were rarely at the same spot at the same time (which helped to keep people out of your pictures). At the Palace of Culture however, we all got together again. And while René and Laura were busy rising a new FC Pripyat from the ashes of the gym, and Beat was still looking for good spots to shoot, I got into a conversation with our guide who was standing in front of the van, waiting for us. › Continue reading
Exhibition: “True Fairy Tales” by Annie Betram

Annie Bertram: "Winter Princess"
My wife and I just returned from a great exhibition opening in the H.R. Giger museum in Gruyère, Switzerland. Our friend (and wedding photographer) Annie Bertram is showing her photograph series “True Fairy Tales” (“Wahre Märchen”) there until August.
Annie is a well-known gothic portrait photographer. Her exhibition is a reflection upon classic fairy tales – popular ones such as Sleeping Beauty, and less known ones such as King Thrushbeard – and show protagonists of those fairy tales in a new light. It is also a companion exhibit to her illustrated modern fairy tale book of the same name.
I can wholeheartedly recommend the exhibition: It’s a beautiful collection of 40 photographs on canvas, shown in an unusual museum next to a beautiful medieval castle in the middle of Switzerland. The exhibition runs until mid August – don’t miss it!

If you like abstract art, you should check out Marcus Matthias Keupp‘s vectorized structures. Marcus combines geometrical elements into quiet while colorful renderings that take the viewer into a world where science meets beauty under neon light. Recommended!
His next exhibition is April 25 – May 17 in Giswil, Switzerland. A bigger one will be in December.
