>> Invitation
In his solo exhibition Tapping on Windows, Wim Bosch shows a selection of new works from the work
groups A.L.S. and crumples. – Some of them have been already part of his solo show at the Museum Belvédère,
Oranjewoud (NL), which ran until 3 December 2017.
On the occasion of the opening Wim Bosch will present his new photo edition exclusivly designed for Das
Esszimmer.
At the beginning of his artistic career, Wim Bosch initially started with painting before he dedicated himself to
photography. This painterly approach is still central and influential for his current work as well as for his handling
of the (photographic) image. Wim Bosch comments this as follows:
“The painter constructs, the photographer discloses. That is, the identification of the subject of a photograph always
dominates our perception of it – as it does not, necessarily, in a painting. In this well-known quote, Susan Sontag describes
our identification with the photographed object and the unbreakable relationship of the photographic image with reality. It is
partly through this specific relationship that I became interested in the medium of photography at a time when I was
painting.”
