Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a striking blue-toned image of two workers in a workshop setting. The composition is dominated by the bold, graphic silhouettes of the figures, highlighted by the vibrant blue tones that permeate the scene. The use of this distinctive color palette, along with the abstract, minimalist rendering of the figures, suggests a focus on the inherent visual qualities of the subject matter rather than a straightforward documentary approach. The inclusion of the "AUTOGLAS" text on the worker's uniform hints at the industrial context, while the overall style and technique convey a sense of detachment and objectivity, perhaps reflecting the artist's intention to explore the nature of labor and the human experience within the modern industrial landscape. ...

Nana Wolke
B.1994, Slovenian

The work of Nana Wolke explores the nature of perception, focusing its attention on modes of apprehension of space and time. Her series of works usually begins on film-like sets, where the artist records the unfolding of staged situations and improvised actions occurring in spaces spanning social hierarchy. Wolke proceeds to assemble and edit both original and found footage to create distinctly monochromatic visual atmospheres and rhythms that she then translates into painting and sound installations. Using commonplace lighting to model space and generate the grain, textures and slippages of her images and sequences, Wolke utilizes a variety of devices chosen as much for their technical properties than for their social significance – e.g. CCTV equipment, home video camcorders, inventory cameras, intercom systems, etc. Considering the multiple viewpoints from which an action can be witnessed, Wolke’s work conjures a tension between observation and control, often inviting viewers to navigate environments that interrogate notions of access and inclusion – whether for economic, social, or security purposes. In so doing, Wolke reflects upon the conflation of desire and shame in contemporary modes of production and consumption of images and visual culture. By constantly confronting the logic of live actions, cinema and paint, Wolke ultimately seeks to analyze the progressive inextricability between actual and artificial realities. ...
