Lisa Oppenheim - Profile |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Born 1975, New York Education Lisa Oppenheim is interested in the underappreciated aspects of visual culture: the tell tale expressions of contemporary life which are often overlooked. She seeks to discern the repercussions of significant moments in history, not from the moment itself, but rather the gestures and remainders of the forgotten. Her interest lies in damaged negatives from early 20th century reportage, the personal photographs posted on Flicker by soldiers serving in Iraq, the constellation above the location of a famous media news story, as well as the meaning inherent in supposedly innocuous products like crayons and alphabet charts. Re-looking at such moments allows for transformation. She tries to make images that point towards the main event as well as in other directions; the erosion of information through the passage of time, the canned beauty of a sunset, the aestheticization of war, the socially loaded meaning of everyday objects. Much of Oppenheim’s work is research, looking for images and objects that point to something larger and then developing strategies and techniques to make these relationships visible. As a result the final form depends on the original material and ranges from 16mm film installations to slide shows, photographs and photograms, as well as prints and drawings. |
