DE
In seinen Werken folgt Jan Paul Evers ( *1982 Köln) einem erweiterten Fotografiebegriff: mit künstlerischen Arbeiten im fotografischen Verfahren erobert er den Raum, schafft ihn neu und bannt ihn schließlich auf Papier, wobei die Spur eines Objektes manchmal sichtbar bleibt, andere Male gänzlich unkenntlich wird. In Evers kontemplativen fotografischen Werken, allesamt Unikate, geht er den technischen und gestalterischen Möglichkeiten des Mediums Fotografie nach.
EN
In his artistic practice Jan Paul Evers (*1982 Cologne) examines the ways in which images function, from the diverse processes by which they arise through to the ways in which they seduce observers.
Evers utilises both analougue and digital technologies in a complex and labour-intensive process that he linkens to sculpture.Through carefull edition and extraction, crafting and constructing a final unique object is formed.
