Inge Dick - 2 shows and a birthday celebration

from the seires Zinnober (Vermillion), 2010/25

Inge Dick, a long time friend and artist of Fotohof and one of the most important figures in the Austrian photography scene is celebrating her 70th birthday with new work being shown in 2 galleries in Germany.

With her photo projects – whether it be with large Polaroid cameras or with her new film project “Vermillion” shown in the exhibition “Lichtzeiten” (“Light Times”) at the Upper Austrian Landesmuseum (Linz, spring 2008) Inge Dick presents one of the most unusual positions in contemporary and experimental photography. New in her first film – shot in real time – is the documentation of the changing colour of a vermilion surface filmed between 7am and 8.30pm.

In her most recent photographic project, Inge Dick creates photographic images on the basis of the film, showing the sequences and changes in colour of the vermillion plate she had originally filmed. We are showing the first „stills“ in the exhibition.

Galerie Bender, München



Happy Birthday Inge!
