BAAM

Raised among old cameras, family photographs, and 19th-century chemical encyclopedias on photo development, Lars Plessentin showed little interest in photography or art until his product design studies led him by chance into photography seminars. His early work explored analogue techniques, often expanded by experimental methods. Today, Plessentin merges his design background with a fascination for objects, materials, and traces of use. Layering bodies, colors, and textures, he creates vibrating visual spaces between desire and decay — hybrid wall installations oscillating between design model, trash archaeology, and ironic commentary on the present.
