 Kiss, 2003 C-print, 55.8 x 37.3 cm Philipp Keel Aisa - Images from an Imaginary Continent Click for English text Die Galerie Judin freut sich, in der ersten Ausstellung von Philipp Keel 88 Photographien aus der Serie "AISA - Images from an Imaginary Continent" - Eindrücke von einer Reise, die so nie stattgefunden hat - zu präsentieren. "It must be amazing to visit India, South America or Asia. Somehow, the wish to explore these places has created a feeling of being home sick for something I don't even know. Aisa is not Asia. Aisa is a continent without tourists, a place where nothing makes sense - and everything is beautiful. One day, I'll visit Asia." Der in Los Angeles lebende Schweizer Künstler und Autor Philipp Keel studierte am Berkley College of Music und der Hochschule für Fernsehen und Film in München. 1998 erschien sein Buch "All About Me", das sich zu einer internationalen Bestseller-Serie entwickelt (es folgten u.a. "All About Us", "All About My Cat", "All About My Dog" und "The Teenage Edition"). Das photographische Werk Keels wurde erstmals im 1999 erschienen Band "Look At Me" publiziert. Der 2004 vom Steidl Verlag präsentierte, monumentale Band "COLOR" ist die bisher umfangreichste Sammlung von photographischen Werken Philipp Keels. Zur Zeit arbeitet er an seinem ersten Spielfilm. Die 88 ausgestellten Photographien sind Unikate (Edition 1/1) und werden im Juni als Buch publiziert. Ausstellungsdauer: 29.4. - 8.6.2005 Oeffnungszeiten: Di-Fr 14 - 18.30 Uhr, Sa 11 - 16 Uhr Galerie Judin Lessingstrasse 5 8002 Zürich Telefon 043 422 88 88 Email info@galeriejudin.ch www.galeriejudin.ch Philipp Keel Aisa - Images from an Imaginary Continent Galerie Judin is very pleased to present its first exhibition with works by Philipp Keel.
