GELFAND + DOMNITCH / VOGELENZANG
The artists in this collective and the authors of these lasergrams come from distant fields in the arts: Philippe Vogelenzang works in the domain of photography, whereas Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand stage multi-sensory installations and performances exploring cutting-edge science, from cosmology to quantum physics.
The three of them were first introduced to each other about 20 years ago, when they all shared studios at an artist complex on the Damrak, Amsterdam. After having years ago shot a photographic series together, they are now co-creating 'lasergrams': photograms generated by laser light. Combining their different ‘eyes’ and talents, these one-of-a-kind artworks reveal hidden interactions between light and matter.
Philippe Vogelenzang (1982) is a Dutch photographer internationally renowned for his lively and playful portraits and fashion photography. He has captured a wide range of subjects throughout his career, from models and public figures to sculptural still lifes of inanimate objects. Vogelenzang studied Art History at the UVA and Photography at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, but developed as a self-taught artist. His work has appeared in publications such as Vogue, V Magazine, Numéro, Bazaar and Times Magazine. He has exhibited twice in the Amsterdam Museum in 2010. In 2014 he was part of the FOAM exposition ‘Fashion Photography Next' and connected book by Thames & Hudson. Both curated by Magdalene Keaney. In 2016 his work was in FOAM on display alongside Helmut Newton Retrospective. In 2021, he released his first book entitled 'I,XXX; Through a Lens of Love', in which he celebrates portrait art, iconic city objects and the free spirit of Amsterdam. That same year he was nominated for a RABO Dutch Portrait Award.
Dmitry Gelfand (1974) and Evelina Domnitch (1972) create multi-sensory installations and performances that merge physics, chemistry and computer science with uncanny philosophical practices. Investigating questions of perception and perpetuity, their artworks exist as ever-transforming phenomena offered for observation. Because these exotic physical phenomena take place directly in front of the observer without being intermediated, they serve to vastly extend the sensory threshold. The immediacy of this experience allows the observer to transcend the illusory distinction between scientific discovery and perceptual expansion.
The duo’s practice has emerged through collaborations with pioneering research groups, including LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory), EU Quantum Flagship, and Aerospace Engineering (TU Delft). They are recipients of the Witteveen+Bos Award (2019), Meru Art*Science Award (2018), Japan Media Arts Excellence Prize (2007) and five Ars Electronica Honorary Mentions (2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2017). Domnitch and Gelfand have exhibited at Marten-Gropius-Bau (Berlin), the Venice Biennial, MAXXI Museum of 21st Century Art (Rome), Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art (Helsinki) and the National Museum of Modern Art (Tokyo).
A selection of lasergrams are in the collections of GAMeC (Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Bergamo), New Art Foundation, Meru Foundation, and multiple private collections.
