Camera Austria Award
for Contemporary Photography by the City of Graz 2013
Joachim Koester
Description
Danish artist Joachim Koester (born 1972 in Copenhagen) is this year’s recipient of the Camera Austria Award for Contemporary Photography by the City of Graz . In the eyes of the jury, Joachim Koester’s photographic (and also filmic) work convinces thanks to the artist’s innovative negotiation of relations between the documentary and the fictional.
“Something that has interested me a lot is how ideas and narratives take on a physical form, how stories and history materialise. In one way or another, spaces are transformed by human action, and in my work I am, if you like, ghost-hunting spaces. I look for these storylines, which may not always be very apparent but are still present.
Lazy Clairvocants and Future Audiences, “Joachim Koester in conversation with Anders Kreuger”, 2005.
