Viktoria Binschtok

• Examination of our algorithm-driven present • Feedback loops between online and offline • Artist with numerous institutional solo and group exhibitions

Viktoria Binschtok's photographic works are physical echoes of the image flows produced by our digitally connected world. Her works become part of the larger net that Binschtok consciously casts over divergent visualities dissecting the vastness of our daily digital image production. The precise layering of her large-scale photo-objects generates visual connections with both subtle and apparent references to current realitiesimmaterial concepts which thus take on a physical shape in new contexts of meaning, creating feedback loops between online and offline.
The book opens with Three People on the Phone, an early series Binschtok photographed on the streets of Tokyo in 2004, visualizing how the absorbed presence of the people immersed in a dialogue with their devices connects the physical space of the city with the channels of the new, digital worldan interaction that is constantly reiterated in Binschtok's work.
