Ausstellung Jens Sundheim

In the organizer's words:

n serial photographic works, Jens Sundheim explores urban, technological and digital spaces and structures. He uses a wide variety of techniques - from analog photography and internet-based cameras to more experimental photographic processes.

Webcams and their imagery play a major role in his work. In projects that usually last many years, Sundheim examines the application, meaning and aesthetics of the images produced and negotiates the utopian potential of these devices as a global and (almost) universal photographic machine, but also as an instrument of control and surveillance.

Jens Sundheim, born in Dortmund in 1970, studied photography in Dortmund, Exeter (UK), Berlin and Hamburg. He has been teaching photography at the Department of Art and Art Studies at TU Dortmund University since 2019. Sundheim is a member of Künstlerhaus Dortmund and has been chairman since 2019. In 2021 he was honored as Dortmund CityArtist. His work is frequently exhibited internationally and is the subject of artistic and academic research.
