Ilse Maren — photographer · Lisbon
Four bodies of work.
Made slowly, on foot, in available light — 2020 to 2024.
Four works — Marseille · Bensberg · 2022
Hard Light
Post-war concrete photographed at noon, the hour it was built for — holding the half-tones the material actually keeps.
Four works — Tokyo · 2022
Afterhours
The city between the last train and the first, made on foot and handheld — after it stops performing and the light does the composing.
Four works — Sierra Nevada · Cornwall · 2021—2023
Still Water
A standing body of work made at first light on inland water — the few minutes a lake holds the sky whole before the wind finds it.
Four works — Namib · 2020
Salt
Desert and salt flat reduced to line and shadow — the scale withheld on purpose, so the eye has no handle to hold.
Available for commissions — editorial, architecture, landscape
