Jan Pypers ~ Hasselblad Master

Jan Pypers has won the HasselbladMaster in the category ART with his series Diorama. We are so very proud of this achievement by Jan Pypers

As we stand before the Diorama’s creations within the museum, a profound sense of wonderment envelops us. Are these scenes truly tangible? While elements of our familiar reality are captured within the photographs, a subtle distinction keeps us distanced from them. Nature reigns supreme within these compositions, every inch echoing its presence. The artist’s intention is to rekindle our connection with nature, urging us to foster a profound bond with it, to cherish its purity. Over time, with the advancement of technology, this bond has weakened, sometimes to the point of near extinction. Nowadays, with all our gadgets we often forget the magnificence of our surroundings in the world around us.

Since it was established in 2001, the Hasselblad Masters competition has been dedicated to providing a platform for extraordinary photographers worldwide. The Hasselblad Masters is one of the world’s most prestigious art competitions, giving professionals the chance to make their mark in the world of photography.…

O, Collecting Eggs Despite the Times – Pim Zwier

 

Contour Gallery is delighted to be welcoming you to our new show full of eggs and birds: O, Collecting Eggs Despite the Times (2021), a series of photographs and a documentary film based on Schönwetter’s egg collection by Pim Zwier, opening on 13th May.

 

May is the month in which we commemorate the victims of war and celebrates freedom. Eggs and war, a greater contrast hardly seems possible, yet they are bound together in O, Collecting Eggs Despite the Times. Through the correspondence on Max Schönwetter’s untimely embarkment on oology, or the study of birds’ eggs, and Zwier’s close-up photography of the eggs together with peculiar cinematic juxtaposition of human and fowl, a new light is shed on the formerly-unknown slice of history.
