Approximative Gleichzeit, 2023

Dark night, dark times. A myriad of words, thoughts and images buzz around between independently thinking and acting characters. This oscillation between the real now, memories and imagined worlds of thought gives rise to a sense of approximate simultaneity. The artist Anna Altmeier and the designer Lorenzo Conti have conceived, sketched, edited and finally produced this unique book in silent union. The logic of the printing process was turned on its head. Light is printed, represented in the book as silver. The black of the paper forms the basis. Only in this way can the light of the photograph, the glow of the words be made to shine.

Standing still, 2013

"This book includes photographs...on themes such as landscape, people and human living space....in dealing with traditional images, Anna Altmeier has identified special forms of temporal and spatial references that she is able to trigger between the past and the present. This book is to be understood as the sum of such references, in which it is important to understand individual parts as a whole and the whole from the individual...."

Nuits

Book project, (on hold)

"In her latest photo series 'Nuits', Anna Altmeier delves into the theme of night. Darkness has a subtractive effect on the pictorial event, eliminating objects outside artificial lighting. The photographs owe this circumstance a creative overview that allows image reductions that appear as abstractions. A publication is planned with the group of works 'Nuits' in Edition Atelier, Bern." (Michael Krethlow, 2015)

A Form of Anachronism, 2012

Fotoproject 2012

"The present group of photographs describes a form of anachronism because it seeks to track down the theme of the past in different ways. Not timelessness but time-bound and becoming aware of the loss of what happened. The sadness of a photo album. Less with the desire to search for of lost time, as a sober localization of what happened in the past......" (Michael Krethlow, 2012)
