Sebastian Bremer "To Joy"

Lower East Side Printshop

This event has ended.

The suite "To Joy" was inspired by Friedrich Schiller’s "Ode to Joy." Bremer used his 1972 family vacation photographs to create an atmosphere of profound peace and optimism. Bremer’s technique is to enhance the surface quality with hand painting and mirrors, and by removing and replacing cut-outs. His whimsy approach creates a more harmonious mood in the family album images, while also suggesting nostalgia for times past. Sebastiaan Bremer created "To Joy: Heavenly The Sanctuary," "To Joy: Universal Time Machine," "To Joy: Nature’s Bosom," and "To Joy: The Good Spirit" as part of the Printshop’s exclusive Publishing Residency, working with printers Erik Hougen and James Miller.
