IN THE GALLERY at AIPAD New York 2026
April 22-26, 2026
We are delighted to announce IN THE GALLERY’s participation in AIPAD 2026, acting as the collective voice of the art photography dealers that make up its membership, AIPAD maintains ethical standards, promotes communication within the photographic community, encourages public appreciation of photography as art, concerns itself with the rights of photographers and collectors, and works to enhance the confidence of the public in responsible photography collecting.
IN THE GALLERY is pleased to present a solo booth by Danish artist Jacob Gils, showcasing key works from his acclaimed Portraits of Trees and Limit to your Love series. Gils is internationally recognized for his innovative photographic practice, which merges technical mastery with conceptual depth. Through his distinctive multi-exposure technique, he layers numerous images of the same subject, creating compositions that oscillate between abstraction and figuration. This visual language allows him to capture the essence of temporality, movement, and perception inviting viewers to experience nature as fluid, shifting, and alive. At the core of the work of Limit to your Love is Gils’ highly specific technique: each image is constructed through the transfer of multiple Polaroid photographs onto watercolor paper. This process is inherently unstable and partially uncontrollable. The textured surface of the paper resists perfect adhesion, producing irregularities, faded zones, and white distortions that interrupt the image.
In Portraits of Trees, Gils positions trees as powerful individual beings as well as symbols of resilience, fragility, and ecological urgency. The works reveal both the majesty and vulnerability of nature, subtly engaging with themes of climate change, environmental loss, and humankind’s complex relationship to the natural world.
Jacob Gils’ Limit to Your Love series stands as a refined exploration of both the female form and the material boundaries of photography. Conceived as an experimental body of work using a Polaroid camera, the series revisits a timeless subject, the human body, through a distinctly contemporary and process-driven lens.
