Women Handbags 2012

Hans-Peter Feldmann works across different media and takes everyday figures, situations and contexts as his subjects. He juxtaposes series of photographs, found objects, or documents of ordinary scenes. An avid collector, his interest lies in the opposition between objects and the meaning that man attributes to them. Feldmann investigates how we invest everyday images with feelings that emerge from our personal and collective perceptions. In contrast to the aggression that drives present-day consumer trends, Feldmann edits series of found or culturally established objects, setting them up for the viewer to contemplate and potentially supply them with new meaning.
