Stephan Keppel Immer Zimmer

‘Immer Zimmer’ is the published manifestation of visits to the 2021 exhibition ‘Hard Copies’, curated by Taco Hidde Bakker and held at Camera Austria in Graz. Stephan Keppel’s first-ever international solo exhibition, it raised the crucial question: “Who is the master and who is the copy?” It is an underlying theme in Keppel’s production over the last decade, where in recent years he experiments with physical objects and their representations. This interplay of visual correspondences is reflected within a wide selection of the many different works made, printed, and collected by Keppel since 2011 for his “city series”, which entails his processes of scanning, printing, and reprinting.
