Krist Mort - WERDEN
Werden is Kristina Feldhammer's (aka Krist Mort) latest book of analog photography. It comprises a careful curation of self-portraits created, and hand-printed in the darkroom, between 2015 and 2020 in Austria. Along with this collection of darkroom works, the book also contains previously unreleased sketches, a foreword by Jonathan Berman as well as an artist bio by Isabel Biederleitner.
The Self in motion, in transformation, a state of emerging, of ceasing. A state of becoming; something, and nothing. The German word ‘werden’ describes this constant state of transformation and captures the essence of something that is about to become. By contrast, a photograph can only ever show us what has been. It is fixed, motionless. And so this collection of photographic self-portraits is also a collection of perpetual Becomings forever frozen in time.
