Berlin.- The Barbara Thumm Gallery is pleased to present “Martin Dammann: Gegen Uber” a series of new works by the Berlin based artist until October 29th. An essential topic of Martin Dammanns’ work is the correlation of photography and painting with regards to the topics, which are depicted. Dammann chooses to translate the photographic image into painting when he is “captured by an unexpected, vague and yet poignant feeling that something is in the photo, though not visibly. As if the moments when these photos were taken had a special meaning and despite the inability of traces of light to translate this into a photochemical process, an echo of that meaning somehow remains (Martin Dammann).” By transcribing such photos into a different medium Dammann seeks to understand and to master that described phenomena.
