Jim Dine: This is how I remember, now

Jim Dine is best known as a graphic artist, painter and sculptor – and as one of the fathers of Pop Art. But in 1996, when he took up photography, completely new aspects of his artistic talent appeared. Most of his photographs are studio shots, in which double exposures and objects heavy with symbolism produce a surrealistic tinge.

For the exhibit This is how I remember, now. Portraits, Dine has collected a series of photographs of himself, his friends and family and of the wooden boy (who soon becomes a real boy) Pinocchio. In these works Jim Dine attempts to bring to life through remembrance in poetic, visual portraits the people who surround him. By taming and exploiting the camera's tendency to lie Dine has found a way to dismiss mortality.

The exhibition has ben produced in cooperation with Jim Dine and Die Photographische Sammlung / SK Stiftung Kultur, Cologne.
