Jochen Lempert's Poetic Nature Photography at Mutina for Art Modena
Jochen Lempert, a German artist born in Moers in 1958, who originally trained as a biologist and experimental filmmaker, is the subject of an exhibition at Mutina for Art in Modena. The show presents his analog photographs, which focus on the natural world and its details, using a poetic gaze to tell stories. Curator Sarah Cosulich notes that Lempert's seemingly casual compositions, precise prints, and method of displaying works without frames in diptychs and series encourage viewers to find common points and formal or symbolic resonances between images. The exhibition includes long poems and pairs of photographs, inviting the audience to look beyond the subject and discover new relationships, both expected and unexpected.
