Stephanie Jung Artist Research

 

Stephanie Jung is a Berlin-based photographer. She’s known for her experimental take on multiple exposures. Her constructional shots show cities that represent reality but lead to a different as well as surreal dimension apart from our real world. She shows her infinite multiple exposure technique, this time with the help of the “Lomo’Instant camera”.

Stephanie holds a B.A. in art history and literature from Harvard University. She also worked as a translator, international affairs officer, and junior curator for the Three Shadows Photography Art Centre in Beijing for three years. Such as she organised exhibitions such as “Ai Weiwei: New York Photographs 1983–1993” (2009) and “WATW: We Are the World” (2009).

I believe that her work can be considered to be a creative and memorable hallucination as the images look deformed and look clear that two photographs have been layered on top of each other creating a very special and unique effect for the audience’s eyes.

I think Stephanie’s work is very admirable as she uses opposing photographs and creates something special with them. What to must special effects only using specific camera settings and layering images on top creates a sci-fi/ science fiction movie effect, something that could be seen in the movie Blade Runner possibly where cinematic effects are presented through the streets and roads, this could send a link through the audience’s mind if they see something that looks similar to a hobby or just a pleasant memory.

Themes that Stephanie’s photographs could link to are Distortion, Complexion, and Disfigurement.
