Born 1996, in Cyprus, Marietta Mavrokordatou lives and works in London. She explores the potential forms of the photographic medium. By redefining autobiographical elements, which she uses as points of reference, a new way of perceiving is presented through her own eyes.

“For more than 35 years, Jochen Lempert’s photographs have stood out as a singular oeuvre within contemporary art. The trained biologist’s gaze is marked by constant wonder. At first, and not without irony, at the history and forms (and warps) of our cultural fascination for the inexhaustible potential of plants and animals. He is increasingly interested in the phenomena of perception and how they are translated into images, in the life forms of flora and fauna and their analogies to his own creative process… Following the publication of Phenotype in 2013 by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Natural Sources is Jochen Lempert’s second major artist’s book.”—Florian Ebner

A collaboration between Jochen Lempert and Jürgen Stollhans on the occasion of both artists’ duo show at the Kunstverein Ulm in July–August 2007.

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Ellipsis, featuring Chantal Akerman, Lili Dujourie and Francesca Woodman, curated by Lynne Cooke, at Konsthall Lund, Sweden; Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico & Dundee Contemporary Arts, UK, between 2007–08.

“Although born ten years apart and in very different circumstances, the three artists featured in this exhibition each profited from the turn to still photography, and other lens-based technologies—film, slide projection and the newer medium of video that dominated vanguard art practice in the late 1960s. Taking themselves, their bodies and their immediate circumstances as their point of departure, during the 1970s all three made performative work for the camera. Tellingly, the sites they favoured were mostly their own studios or domestic interiors.”—Lynne Cooke
