Elke Reinhuber

Counterfactualism in the Fine Arts (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A fascination with the path not taken is a logical consequence of a world saturated with choices. Reinhuber theorises how this fascination finds shape in contemporary art forms, especially in photography and film. A fascinating exploration for scholars and students of Art, Media and the Humanities, and anybody with an interest in counterfactualism.

Autorenporträt

Defying traditionally defined departmental categorisation, Elke Reinhuber connects anthropology and environmental studies with visual art, performance and immersive media. After studying at Universitat der Kunste Berlin, Chelsea College London and Accademia di Belle Arti Bologna, she completed her PhD in media art at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. She began her teaching career at the Braunschweig University of Art, moved to the German University in Cairo, and in 2014 joined the School of Art, Design and Media at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, before becoming Associate Professor for Expanded Photography at the School of Creative Media at City University, Hong Kong.

Throughout her work, Reinhuber explores the transitory spaces where nature and civilisation intermingle, at the intersection of arts and technology. Her investigations into the intertwined triad of choice, deliberation and subsequent decision-making have resulted in internationally presented award-winning artwork, short and immersive films, and a number of journal articles and presentations.

Currently, she explores the utopian and dystopian potential of public architecture while continuing her research on imagery beyond our visual spectrum.
