Description
"What I also like is its fixed, focused view-it (photography) only grants the viewer one perspective and imposes a restricted gaze ."
In her first monograph "Bound by Echo", Nadine Bracht combines thematic circles that could not be more different - horses, photography and teaching at an art academy. In the phase when the horse lost its importance with the technical development of the automobile, photography continuously prevailed and became popular. This is the magic moment where, for Bracht, two topics intersect at a kind of historical juncture. As an artistic-technical teacher for photographic media at the Stuttgart Art Academy, she starts here with her research and reflections. She develops teaching formats, image strategies and narratives that stretch and expand the medium of photography in an interdisciplinary way, such as through photo walks, performance, video and sculpture.
