Kalinka Gieseler

Junkspace

 

Kalinka Gieseler is interested in the usage of the (photographic) image in the scenography of commercial spaces. She documents and archives image material that influences us in the public space every day and uses it as a basis for her spatial installations. Her photography remains a physical and mobile material that is principally changeable in its form and usage and can reconstitute itself repeatedly in the respective space and context. The superimposition of different image layers in Gieseler’s photography is potentiated in the exhibition space by the use of different sizes, formats and superimpositions.
