Paul Levack’s Grünenberg Park Kidnapping and Bauhaus Suicide (Hot Water) are digital composites of found and original images. The subjects depicted blend body parts with found images of cities, rural scenes, and visual effects, such as photoshop gradients, sparkles and water drops. Levack continues a photographic tradition that uses aesthetics born of a capitalist stock vocabulary, pushing the material into an unstable territory of lyricism and darkness. Paul Levack (b. 1992, Akron, US) lives and works in Mannheim. His has recently exhibited at Red Tracy, Copenhagen (2021); Haus der Kunst, Oslo; Neue Alte Brücke, Frankfurt am Main and Zazà, Naples (both 2019).
