booth 24
This edition of Photo Basel, we are showing photos representing different stages from the history of photography. Due to its long relation with photography as an art form, since the beginning of the 1980s, TORCH has build up a large collection of photos, beginning in the 1940 until now. We will have one wall with vintage prints, one wall with staged photography by Ellen Kooi and digital edited photography by Loretta Lux and one wall with an alternative approach by Popel Coumou.
Vintage prints
Icons from the early history of photography such as Larry Clark, Sally Mann, Patrick Demarchelier, Ellen von Unwerth and Melvin Sokolsky. All hanging up and under each other, large prints alternated with smaller ones.
Loretta Lux
Being one of the first artists to use digital editing on images, Lux has been a renowned name in the photography world for quite some time now. Starting in 1999, she transitions images of children and adolescents using computer manipulation. Extracting extraneous details and distorting proportions, Lux creates an image that is about being a child in general and its influence on a person's life.
Ellen Kooi
The large-scale panoramic photographs by Ellen Kooi challenge us to view the world as a dramatic narrative. She wants us to seek the border between fantasy and reality. When starting in 1993 with her staged photographs focused on landscapes, she used her experience as an theatrical photographer to add lightnings doing the shoot.
Popel Coumou
Belonging to the newest generation of Dutch photographers, Coumou has an alternative approach to the medium of photography. She starts with making architecture collages of paper, then adds light to suggest three dimensionality and makes of the result a analogue photo. This is then enlarged and printed, resulting in image that seems to hold the mid ground between painterly abstraction and geometric photography. Her very first works were tiny photographed sculptures, we will show one of these as well.
