Katrin Korfmann

This work made by Katrin Korfmann is called "Count for nothing" and has been a very big inspiration for me during my last work "Between then and now".
These photographs are about the conceptual ideas around time and context. She explores and challenges the way we are used to percieve an image and in a way the photos becomes very graphic. It invites the viewer to a different perspective we are not used to see the world around us and how similar we are from above. What inspires me most is the relationship between time, as in collecting different times in one single frame which I have seen other artists do, such as Hiroshi Sugimoto etc. It questions then, now and the future and this made me start thinking about time and what it really is. 
These photos are many still films in one still photograph, the only difference from a moving image is that it shows all frames at once instead of after each others.

About Me

My photo
London, United Kingdom
Im Emma from Gothenburg, Sweden. I live in London, and Stockholm. I study Photography at London college of communication after graduating from Central saint martins with Graphic design/photo which helped me develop alot and lead me to focusing only on photo. I find it inspirationable to study in London as I´m surrounded with lots of creativity and people with great ideas everyday. I find it important to be interested as a person to be able to do something interesting yourself. When it comes to art and photography I find it important to be open to recieve inspiration within any art form to create a broader understanding. This will make you more advanced within your own area of expertise. If your an actor, go and see dance, read books, go to exhibitions. It´s up to oneself how to develop that inspiration into something of your own. "The act of observing the experiment affects the experiment".
