For our photography expedition “Abandoned Premises” we received over 40 applications from young photographers from Berlin. A tough choice, but in the end we decided for Stephan Boegel, Elena Capra, Jakob Ganlsmeier and Sibylle Hoessler.

Stephan Bögel (30) holds a degree in business informatics and has realized his first interactive video installations. He discovered his love for industrial ruins in Detroit, where he tried to play with the flat impression of the broken surface and the space behind it leading to a new future.

Elena Capra (28) moved to Berlin to study photography after completing a BA in Fine Arts in Genova, Italy. Her poetic yet clear compositions are not in search of facts, of truths, but of what instead hides behind the real, nourishing it.

For Jakob Ganslmeier (23) there are no differences between portraying a building and portraying a person, since one is dealing with memory and traces of past. His pictures show a strong sense for composition and color and a playful approach to dimension.

Returning to Rijeka is Sibylle Hoessler (52), where she in 2012 researched “The Footsteps of Tošo Dabac”, culminating in a show of the same title in Rijekas Museum for Modern and Contemporary Art, MMSU. Now she is after the hidden places in Rijeka that mark a big turnaround in city’s biography.
