The Wonderful World of Joachim Beug: Project 94

“Take a photograph every day for one whole year”, that,in short is what “Project 94” was about.

Carrying out what started as a New Year resolution proved to be demanding, frustrating, enriching, complex and sometimes upsetting. The world around, near and far, was turning into motifs demanding to be framed. Contentions of seeing, laws of composition, artistic rules soon began to seem exhausted and confusing and demanded to be broken. Creative energies had to be found when these seemed to be none. On occasion I just grabbed the camera, turned my eyes away, pointed in some random direction and pushed the button. On other, inspired days half a roll of film was shot with great concentration.

The result: a considerable number of pictures. A selection of those was collected in scrap books which provide a record of the project.

On view here are a few images which should be strong enough to stand on their own and an impression of the range of motifs, intentions and realizations. Instead of titles the images are identified by their ‘date of birth’.

These limited edition photographs will be exhibited until November 7th.
