Anne Loch

Alongside painting, photography was also an important medium for Anne Loch. She tirelessly photographed the world around her. In many cases, the resulting photographs served as templates for her paintings. But she also used photographic medium to create artworks in their own right. The profoundly poetic series of artworks titled Synapses draws on motifs that also feature prominently in her paintings: deer, roses, and forests. At the same time, however, she also incorporated her own body into her photographic works, which rarely features in her paintings.

Loch’s Synapses are created by superimposing multiple images and with the help of a television: Anne Loch photographed an image on the television and exposed the same negative again with a different image. The structural pattern of the television’s tube image is clearly discernible.
