Iris Klein: She, Her & Me
Klein employs a wide scope of diverse technical processes, ranging from analog darkroom to computer manipulations, to vivify her body doubles. In the darkroom, Klein enlarges positive contact sheet images rather than the normal negative. The resulting fiber-based prints then undergo various diffusion techniques and selenium toning. Some of these gelatin-silver prints are then scanned to produce final Lambda prints shown in the exhibition. She, Her & Me includes works that have been created by Klein over the last years and presents recent work that has been specifically done for this, her first one-person show in New York City. Klein’s work is presented as part of Leica’s series on Austrian Photography, the fourteenth exhibition in the program.
