Photomanipulation nominee

The intention behind my digital photo collages is that the beholder feels addressed immediately, without any further explanation. Therefore I use present-day visual language and techniques to combine it with long established, fundamental rules of painting and drawing. Our subjective perception is shaped by so many instant influences these days. Modern media affects us immensely, but so does almost forgotten ideas about shapes, colors and expressions of past days. Everything builds on one another and is subconsciously present all the time. All that can be used to move the viewer and create an unexpected personal experience.

Born 1982, raised and currently living in Germany with an unbridled obsession for pictures. Jorg Karg has been focusing on digital photographic collages since the year 2008. He takes photographic material, rearrange it, and abstract it, using photo-editing software. Before discovering this fascinating for photography, he obsessively painted and drew, which is big influence in his current photographic practice.
