Anja Jensen

Galerie f 5,6, Munich

Tatort. Anja Jensen (1967) considers the main characteristic of her work to be the deep connection of the photograph and the place of its origin. Exploring local environments and experiencing their rules and terms, regarding society, history and individual stories, constitutes the basis of her photography and installation projects. Her goal is to uncover every single facet of places by using locals, their story and connection to a specific spot. Jensen tries to make the environment talk. This requires authentic people as well as sites, and so every staged photograph is based on a location and a person linked to each other. She calls them her experts of the story behind the photograph or accomplices in staging a scene. The protagonists are never professional actors or models. A dense search-light is shun directly onto the protagonists, the spotlighting is forcing them out of their secretive spaces. The exhibition will be accompanied by the catalogue Anja Jensen, published by Kehrer. Opening: thursday, 31 january 6.30 through 9 pm
