This striking black and white photograph depicts a weathered and damaged electronic device or gadget. The overall composition is minimalist, with the central focus being a jagged, irregular opening in the device's casing, revealing a glimpse of the inner workings. The contrast between the dark, textured exterior and the bright, exposed circuitry within creates a sense of tension and fragility. The artist's use of high-contrast monochrome photography enhances the sense of decay and deterioration, suggesting a commentary on the ephemeral nature of technology and its vulnerability to the ravages of time and use. This piece likely reflects the artist's interest in the aesthetics of decay and the fragile relationship between technology and the natural world. ...
Hunter Longe studies the intersections of geological time, material transformation, and speculative narratives. Through a multidisciplinary approach, he examines how materials—both natural and synthetic—embody histories and potential futures. Central to his work is the concept of "deep time," where he juxtaposes ancient geological formations with contemporary materials to create works that evoke both the past and speculative possibilities for the future. Longe often employs materials such as fossilized organisms, minerals, and thermo-sensitive plastics, integrating them into his artworks to highlight the interconnectedness of life, death, and transformation. By manipulating these materials, he creates objects and environments that reflect on the cyclical nature of existence and the passage of time. Through his multidisciplinary approach, Longe invites viewers to contemplate the materiality of the world around them and the unseen forces that shape it. His work challenges conventional perceptions of time and matter, offering a contemplative space where the boundaries between the organic, the synthetic, and the speculative blur. ...
LambdaLambdaLambda was founded in 2015 in Prishtina (Kosovo) by Isabella Ritter and Katharina Schendl. It is the first and only international gallery for contemporary art in Prishtina working on a global scale. On a local level its aim is to provide artists and the audience with an intimate environment conducive to experimentation, discussion and learning, especially by bringing together international and local artists. The gallery represents artists of the young generation of Kosovar artists as well as artists from the Balkan-region along with artists from other geographies.
Over the course of one decade the gallery has successfully introduced a myriad of artists to a global audience which resulted in landmark exhibitions as well as acquisitions by important museums and institutions worldwide. LambdaLambdaLambda has earned a reputation for championing artists who challenge established socio-political narratives and for introducing artists with idiosyncratic artistic practices. ...
