Outlight

David Osthoff

In the exhibition “Outlight”, media artist David Osthoff addresses the current relationship between humans, technology and nature as a paradigm of perception and the cause of ecological crises. With the help of his camera, he documents the influence of advancing technologization at various locations around the world, while at the same time reflecting on the importance of his own artistic practice – capturing the world through the technical gaze of the medium of photography. At the center of “Outlight” is a group of new works that are being presented for the first time as part of an exhibition: the large-format video projection “east”, the photo series “Mirage” and the video loop “Siona”. The older works and long- term projects “Datafalls”, “Privacy Spheres” and “peak” form a thematic bracket.
