Andre Hemer

Based between Berlin and Brooklyn, the Andre uses scanners and digital photography to capture three-dimensional objects (either found or created from paint) en plein air, recording the changes in light and atmospheric conditions of that particular day. For this series, Hemer has also used AI tools to further extend the images, growing flowers and replacing some shots of sky with generated aerial views to complicate notions of place or more broadly, reality. Not that Hemer aims at realism: he describes his works as ‘amalgamations’ rather than ‘representations’ in the sense that each composition contains multiple layers, processes, mediums and art-historical references.
