Zarah LANDES

Zarah Landes' artistic practice is characterized by a unique fusion of different media, including photography, painting, and textile design. Her work often explores the interplay between light and shadow, drawing inspiration from theatrical scenography and the notion of exposure in photography. Her innovative technique characterizes her practice, it is a creation of imprints of objects thanks to a canvas filled with ink, through a process of tensioning the medium on the chosen piece of furniture (a chair, a tripod...).

Her color palette tends to favor black and white, in connection with monochrome photography, or bright colors whose nuances she likes to explore. Her red work, entitled Chair in connection with the object that left its mark, embodies in its blood-red hue an almost organic dimension.

Zarah Landes's work frequently incorporates motifs, symbols, and textures, reflecting her interest in the tactile qualities of materials and the memory of forms. Her artistic process involves a meticulous balance between the concrete and the abstract, often starting with real objects or scenes to transform them into more conceptual pieces that invite viewers to explore the boundaries between physical presence and artistic representation.
