Annette Kelm

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Annette Kelm (born 1975 in Stuttgart, Germany) is a German contemporary artist and photographer who is particularly known as a conceptual artist. Kelm uses medium or large format cameras in her work, creating still life and portraits.[1] She favours using analog photography methods in her work.[2][3]

Kelm graduated from the Hochschule für bildende Künst in Hamburg in 2000, after which she moved to Berlin.[1] She was awarded the Camera Austria Award for Contemporary Photography by the City of Graz in 2015.[4]

Work[edit]

Kelm explores ideas through "baffling narratives" which use typology, patterns and the intersection of design and technology.[5] Her work has been inspired by traditional photography genres such as the still life, landscapes and portraits.[6] The New York Times describes her work as playing with "watered-down semiotics."[7]
