ONLINE PRESS | AUGUST 2019

Was auf den ersten Blick nach einem Sammelsurium nicht zu einander passender fotografischer Beobachtungen aussieht, ergibt nach mehrmaligem Betrachten ein wunderschönes Ganzes. So ging es uns in der Redaktion bei dem Vorgänger 'SEASON OF ADMIN', der Anfang 2018 im Kerber Verag erschien. Nun verlegt Hatje Cantz mit 'Collective Creatures' das neue Fotobuch von Silja Yvette. Und wieder ziehen uns die Bilder ganz langsam in ihren Bann...

BOOK RELEASE MAY 2019 @ HATJE CANTZ VERLAG

In Collective Creatures, Silja Yvette draws attention to artificial and natural materials, as well as to the effects of mass and energy in space and time. In her photographs objects and places—from caves and abandoned buildings, to quarries, shop windows, found pieces, volcanos, and atomic events—become “collective creatures,” which make it possible to understand forces that are difficult to visualize, such as transformation, expansion, and omnipresence. There is something inherently mythical about these things that opposes the calculability desired by humans. With her strongly compositional images freed from their cultural context, Silja Yvette’s artistic process takes aim at associative contexts. Critically, and with sensitivity, she shows their relationship to the subtle permeation of microparticles and radiation on the one hand, and to the massive upheaval of the earth’s materials perpetrated by human-led corporations and human inventions.

PRESS RELEASE

RELEASE SEPTEMBER 2017

Subtle, uncanny and at the same time perceptive – the photographs of Silja Yvette »evoke associations ranging from ironic reflection to elegiac allusion, from the fragility of being to a certain longing for the elementary« (Annekathrin Müller, Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation). At the origin of »Season of Admin« is an unease regarding any socially organised and administered relationship to nature and things. The images deal with issues related to the self-description of a subject that considers itself autonomous and on the other hand with the agency of things, assuming an understanding of hybrid forms of actions. 

The new publication contains remarkable full size photographic tableaus and an artist book like rich choice of different papers.

Junge, zeitgenössische KünstlerInnen aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum zeigen eine besondere Ausstellung in der Kunst- und Kulturhalle Fabrik45 im Bonner Macke Viertel. Kleidet mich in Seide bildet eine ironische Klammer um die Herausforderungen des künstlerischen Schaffens, von Zweifel bis Behauptung. Die Schau protegiert aufstrebende bildende KünstlerInnen, die bereits eine ausgeprägte künstlerische Sprache entwickelt haben, im Sinne einer großräumigen und selbstbestimmten Präsentation. Ob Malerei, Fotografie, Skulptur, Installation oder Performance, die gezeigten Arbeiten jonglieren mit Mediengrenzen und bewegen sich im Feld der Interdisziplinarität.

Ein Ausstellungsprojekt von Silja Yvette mit Unterstützung von Natascia Cuschié und Cristof Domrowe.
