On Friday, September 28th at 6 pm we cordially invite you to the opening of our Berlin Art Week show, Oblique Exhibition, presenting the latest work of Swedish artist Eva Stenram.
Eva Stenram (b. 1976, Stockholm) uses found images, such as negatives or photographs from magazines and the Internet, as her source of inspiration and working material. Stenram’s work is represented in international collections including Moderna Museet, the Victoria and Albert Museum and Tate Collection. 

About the work: In her latest series, Stenram turns for source material to sports magazines from the 1960s. Her strategy was to re-photograph partial sections of these magazine photographs, from very close up, in a kind of forensic investigation of the imagery. In doing this, she looks for ways of first isolating details of images, and then further homing in — on details of the details. Markings and annotations, involving circled or numbered areas, hint at correspondences between the images, as though some hidden taxonomic code were being teased out of them. As the gaze moves in closer and closer, the original image is lost, and as small corporeal zones distort they take on new roles and new identities within their new configuration.
