André Wagner

André Wagner

Trained as a photographer, André Wagner/ DE *1980 creates pictures that are informed by social movements, architecture and nature. He photographs the natural movement of light producing a surrealistic effect of energy that when combined with the rotation of the earth as André puts it “leads man to delve into the mystic knowledge down deep in his soul.” His unique gift is the sensual way of perceiving internal and external phenomena of a situation. With virtuoso camera technology he produces authentic images that are not digitally manipulated. His atmospheric landscape photographs are romantically inclined and picturesque in their effect. Wagner often summarizes single works into series. So the moment depicted is deliberately loaded with content that rise above the purely aesthetic result.

As David Hernández de la Fuente, Author and Poet, Spain states, “The real journey is that of a man who is thirsty to travel towards his own center who leaves an unforgettable impression on the retina of a new view of the world and its elements.”

An artwork by Katrin Korfmann for the housing company Woonwijze in Vught, Netherlands

Woonwijze is a Dutch housing company. They  wanted a work of art on the outer side of their main headquarters in Vught. With this public art project Katrin Korfmann was commissioned.
Korfmann’s installation consists of a 2 meter by 2,80 meter glass plate, which is installed on a window niche about 3 meters high on a generous, postmodern building.  On this vertically positioned plate several precious Koi carps can be seen, cavorting on the building façade.
The viewer of the work experiences a moment of irritation: although he looks up, at the same time he looks down into an ornamental pond. This paradox is even further reinforced by the backlight of the work, which gives the impression that the pond is illuminated from below: by the light, the golden glowing carps move closer to the surface, while the water seems even more profound. The work invites us to reflect on our culture of status symbols and on our relationship to nature.

An artwork by Katrin Korfmann for the Ronald McDonald Sport Center in Amsterdam

The Ronald McDonald Sport Center for disabled children and teenagers in Amsterdam was built in 2010. Both a conference room as well as an exercise room should be designed artistically. The commission was given to the artist Katrin Korfmann, which realized an artwork for the specific building.

Her installation consists of mostly wall-sized photographs showing from the bird’s perspective both disabled children and “normal” teenagers in water or on soft gym mats. This angle leads to an image where the children are able to move without any restriction. For each picture Korfmann made several different shots of the same place and collages them together in a new image, which transfers the movement in time. The several meters long panoramic installation represents a (virtual) space, which refers to visions and utopias: the expression of joy and freedom experienced by children and teenagers is transmitted to us and let make the observer the difference between disabled and non-disabled people forget.
