Kerstin Flake - Replaces, Angle 15°

Angle 15° by Kerstin Flake Replaces 14,8 x 20 cm 24 pages Offset print Edition of 300, numbered   The German photographer Kerstin Flake has made an impact with her enigmatic pictures of bizarre configurations, taken with an analog large-format camera. In  Replaces  she has photographed installations in empty industrial premises at the Gründerzeithaus in Leipzig, which functions as her studio. The geography here is significant, as this part of the former East Germany is rapidly changing. New capital is being generated as a result of hectic property speculation, and in parallel old industry has ground to a halt – its traditional rooting has been lost, and the present is in a state  of flux.
