Lisa Oppenheim
B.1975, American

Lisa Oppenheim's work is heavily inspired by research, particularly in the history of photography. Oppenheim utilizes various research methods, such as exploring photographic archives, libraries, collections, and online resources as starting points for her layered and sometimes starkly abstract work. Through delving into documentary archives, investigating the neglected outtakes of renowned photographers that were removed from the historical record for various reasons, Oppenheim collects and resurrects them in her imagery. These obscure finds and missing links also have technical parallels in her work. Oppenheim's images often feature fragments and experiment with exposure, suggesting the nuances of what is visible and invisible, revealed and concealed by the camera's mechanics. Her multifaceted work encapsulates photography's most intricate function: the ability to remain entirely silent while appearing to describe the world in infinite detail. ...
