De Anima, 2022

My memories have never been vivid. When I look at old photos of myself, I am often left astonished. As if I look at a completely different person, in a scene I haven’t seen before. It is a sensation I wish to convey with my work.

Haven

I realised that time and time again, that I lost the environment I was accustomed to, leaving me displaced, uprooted. It saddened and angered me, and I felt I could maybe, through photography, communicate something about this.

The start of something

Bayrak draws inspiration from paintings and uses collage or staging to add unexpected layers to her images. A new visual language is created by combining pop and internet culture with cultural symbols.

In art school, I became fascinated with the experience of looking. I’m really interested in the history of painting, and also Japanese Zen gardening. That’s what led me to the work I make now. Photography is construction, so for me the word “documentary” is more about a will to engage with something that we consider to be collective reality.

The Martyrs

Foam Talent 2022: The Martyrs by Ghazaleh Rezaei

Rezaei is both a photographer and a researcher. She is interested in practical photography as she is in the history of art. Some of her series are influenced by geopolitics and art history, others are inspired by artists from different periods.

Woman, who would be King

Foam Talent 2022: Woman, who should be King by Donja Nasseri

Nasseri's work restores a feminist genealogy of the category of women, heroines that do not fall under a western culture category. Instead, it stands as a critique to western forms of feminism for its efforts to colonise and appropriate non-western cultures to support highly western notions of oppression

Kousmate's approach centralises people—their fears, aspirations, disappointments, and daily lives—in an attempt to present a realistic portrait of contemporary life in Morocco's oases.

Foam Talent 2022: Malign Influences / The Holy Mountains by Diego Moreno

Diego Moreno describes himself as a 'rebel storyteller'. Rebellion takes on many forms in Moreno's photographs, where he addresses 'issues in which the human condition becomes more complex', such as religion, family, sexuality, and the unconscious

(...) Geoushy advocates for women who have been sexually violated either verbally or physically. Simultaneously, the photographer should be viewed as an artist and activist that stands by these women. This not only seamlessly ties in with a tradition of the documentary photographer but is also evocative of the approach of artists like Zanele Muholi or Laia Abril.

Foam Talent 2022: Good Hope by Carla Liesching

Liesching accumulates bits of narrative to show how radically fragmentated these are. Her collages call up history and memory, showing them to be piecemeal, invented even.

Bozalp's work is characterised by a playful mix of travel reportage and stylised fashion shoots, in which he quite frequently photographs models he meets on the streets anywhere from the Middle East, Asia and Europe.

The Act of Sitting

Foam Talent 2022: The Act of Sitting by Ritsch Sisters

'Sit Like' instructions

Shortly before the [Covid-19] virus hit, the duo had decided to formalise their collaboration—one born out of the many hours they had spent playing together as children, dressing up and taking photographs. Through their parallel careers, they established both the aesthetic and the practical intimacy unique to siblings aligned in a creative endeavour.

The Death of Actaeon, from the series 'Paintings, Dreams, and Love'

Foam Talent 2022: Paintings, Dreams and Love by Yushi Li

I try to use my photographs to question and challenge the dichotomy between the masculine style and the feminine surface in art history, and to explore more complex looking relations outside of the existing binary looking subject versus looked-at object relationship.
