Troubled Waters “12 Still Lifes from the Siemens Photography Collection”

Troubled Waters is the title of a 12-part photo series of works taken from the Siemens Photography Collection.

This book presents the genre of ‘still life’ as seen from the perspective of a number of contemporary artists such as Thomas Demand, Dan Graham, and Sigmar Polke amongst others. These are images depicting everyday places, spaces and situations in a subjective way, focusing on the theme of the photographic view itself and its relation to reality.

Through the work of these artists, the historical genre of still life is newly interpreted, when photography as a medium reveals innovative and unusual ‘pictures’ through the lens.
