ANDREA TORRES BALAGUER

ANDREA TORRES  BALAGUER

Andrea Torres Balaguer (b.1990) is a Spanish photographer. Her passion for photography remains deeply rooted in her preoccupation with the mystery and ambiguity the medium provides. Looking to masters like Duane Michals, Sally Mann and Annie Leibovitz, she has developed a distinct quality to her works pushing the boundaries of portrait photography beyond its traditional limitations. 

Working as a fashion photographer in Barcelona, Torres intersects this aesthetic with elements of couture in the series’ The Unknown and Hivernacle. The self-portraits are photographed in natural light, and draped in provocative silks, lace, and velvets. Her execution of the composition creates a painterly portrait that triggers all of the senses – so rich in texture and their brilliant, jewel-toned colors. The narrative is pushed one step further with the unique brushstroke that is applied across the subject’s face post-production, making each image slightly different from the others in its small edition.

The viewer is left to create their own interpretation and decipher for themselves what is reality and what is fiction.

 Upcoming exhibition at In The Gallery Copenhagen : From September 21st to October 30th.

CAMILA FENSTER

CAMILA FENSTER

“I often find myself wrapped around in a cocoon. The silence inside helps me give dimension to each and every thought and emotion. This is the place where I create my art, it is where my ideas gain perspective and start to evolve. I use my art to form a solid and visual object of a specific chapter that has touched me in a moment. Every work I make becomes a memory, an expression.”

Camila Fenster (b. 1970) lives and works in Portugal. She has a background as a Production manager in advertisement films. Later on, she pursued a photography course at the renowned Ar.co school in Lisbon. Here she not only acquired technical expertise in mastering digital cameras but also discovered a profound love for the art form. Since then Fenster has used the lens as her gateway to the world, exploring and capturing stories of a range of different places, cultures, and people. This also shows in her extensive work of photographs which are rich in details – textures, shapes, and objects, that she later uses as if they were “paints”.

Strange shapes, floating body parts, and bizarre apparel. Fenster’s body of work is a tapestry of visual narratives. Each piece is based on deconstructed photographs which are recombined into new photographic montages, unfolding stories about eight distinct women. Photomontage is a technique first used by the Dadaists and later adopted by the surrealists to reflect the workings of the unconscious mind. Like the surrealists, Fenster challenges the notion of our reality and rejects rational ways of seeing the world. Instead, the body of work draws inspiration from the artist’s own dreams and imagination and unveils Fenster’s observation of the world and human behavior.

Her artworks have been sold with huge success to almost every EU country, Norway, Switzerland, UK, and Brazil. A few years back, Fenster was invited by the Danish brand “By Malene Birger” to create a Unique Piece based on her aesthetic which now hangs in their headquarters. Furthermore, her artworks have been published in magazines in Portugal and Denmark as well as online magazines and social media.

TOUR by CARSTEN INGEMANN

TOUR by CARSTEN INGEMANN

Through his photographs, viewers are offered a unique glimpse into an alternative dimension established by the silence of the night and the fleeting moments in the tranquil valleys. This is a world of both peace and anxiety, where hidden creatures of the night might be lurking beneath an infinite expanse of starry sky or racing cyclists will be dancing with darkness, casting shadows on the highway.

Carsten Ingemann (b. 1952) is a renowned Danish photographer who lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. He graduated as a photographic journalist in 1973 and has spent the majority of his career as a reporter, covering war and conflict zones until 2008.
