Tamara Lorenz

Tamara Lorenz uses geometrical shapes with solid colours to photograph.  She cuts and folds the paper to achieve the shape that she wants.  This photograph mainly consists of triangular shapes to give the impression of a 3D shape when in reality its only pieces of card. The folds within the photograph creates darker tones and shadows. The green background starts lighter in the top left corner and ends much darker in the bottem right, showing that the light is coming from the left. The thin lines of red create more geometrical shapes in the photo and outlines the other shapes. contrasting with the colours. At first glance, it is unclear whether the photograph itself is the artwork, or just a photograph of an exhibition, this directs attention to the tradition of photographic reproduction of artworks and its impact on the development of art and the art history since the nineteenth century.
