Lulu is proud to inaugurate its program with an exhibition of the German, Hamburg-based photographer Jochen Lempert. For his first exhibition in Latin America, the artist will present a selection of photos that focus on some of the core concerns of his practice, such as anthropocentrism, natural phenomena, nature and photography. Consisting of a single photogram of cherry blossoms, a grid of rain drops collecting on cement, a triptych of a sparse cloud of sunlit midges in a park, and a white leaf, the photos engage questions of human order, chance, and seriality as perceived through the medium of analogue photography. For all their will to reflect the imposition of order onto natural phenomena, the photos are nevertheless characterized by Lempert’s rigorous polyvalence. As such, they are as formally reminiscent of all-over abstractions as they are evocative of starry constellations, resembling, at times, drawings, and at others, collages, despite the fact that he shoots exclusively in 35mm, black-and-white, and never digitally manipulates his photos.
