ANNETTE KELM

Untitled (portrait on a ladder) 2009
Framed c-print
70 x 58 cm
Looking to the side, turned toward something outside the limits of the image, sits a young man on the top rung of a stepladder. His emphatically casual posture—arms folded in front of crossed knees and head turned away—cannot conceal a certain tension. The motif and composition feature strong references to classical portrait, advertising, and fashion photography, which Annette Kelm likes to employ in her works. The fact that the context is not predetermined but the situation depicted is not spontaneous but rather looks consciously staged suggests to the viewer a whole series of ideas for interpretation.

Untitled (boats) 2009
Framed c-print
91,8 x 91 cm
In front of a rust red, loaded container ship, cruises a small sailboat colourfully decked out in flags and pennants. Next to the massive, machine powered freighter, which is monotonous in more than just its colour, the three-master seems narrow, fragile and individual, almost insanely adventurous. Although the image seems to have created spontaneously, the composition and the moment of exposure are precisely determined. Although no statement is laid down and many associations are possible, the juxtaposition of the two ships establishes a tendency.
