Signal & Noise An evaluation of our visual understanding of the world The picture is first of all a visual event, and the realm between perception and recognition leaves plenty of room for our own projections. In this series Oliver Krebs is exploring these projections. His pictorial approach is concerned with the search for hidden aspects beyond appearances, for verities behind the likeness. In this respect, Oliver Krebs regards his creative practice as artistic research. Published by Kehrer Verlag Heidelberg in 2018 ISBN 978-3-86828-883-4

Biography

Oliver Krebs studied painting with Per Kirkeby at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main and graduated as a master student in Georg Herold’s sculpture class. His path to photography was therefore not necessarily predetermined. But his career reveals an artist’s way of thinking. Oliver Krebs seeks the imaging medium for his artistic investigations in art: In photography, he investigates the simple yet almost unanswerable question of what makes a picture a picture and what role the individual im-age elements play.Since 1994 he is also working as a producer in advertising, cinema and TV production
