Sebastian Lemm by Vince Aletti, April '08
"Lemm calls this show of color photographs “Editing Nature,” and he means it quite literally.
He’s digitally removed the
colors green and blue from large-scale photographs of trees in
summer, leaving what appear to be snowscapes of
fragmented trunks and branches floating
free. With no sky and no clear ground, it’s easy to lose your bearings and experience a not
unpleasant sensation of weightlessness. The branches and vines in four small photographs
taken at night are illuminated by a flash, but they’re also digitally doubled or repositioned,
creating witchy nests and tangles to snare unsuspecting nature lovers."
Through April 26. (Peer, 526 W. 26th St. 212-741-6599.)

“Sebastian Lemm
creates a new type of photography that is
no longer
weighed down by the themes that
are seemingly inherent to the medium.”
Michaël Amy, New York
