Smoke Flower (White) 2020
Thomas Albdorf's Career Highlights
- Won the ING UNSEEN Talent Award 2016
- One of British Journal of Photography‘s 'Ones to Watch' in 2014
In his practice, Thomas Albdorf often works with the most commonplace visual clichés - renegotiating image concepts that seem familiar to everybody. For his presentation at UNVEIL’s booth, Albdorf selected works from his oeuvre that show flowers - one of the, if not even the most depicted subject in art par excellence.
All the works are linked together by their artificiality - one print might actually show a physical flower, but the surrounding scenario is constructed in the studio and in software; another print shows a sculptural accumulation that only loosely resembles a flower. Other subjects are either partially or entirely constructed by AI.
The prints are all linked to a video work that shows an endless loop of a bouquet of flowers rebuilt by AI; the entire presentation aims to discuss what „visual representation“ can stand for in a post-photographic world.
