Johann Besse. .
Johann Besse is a photographer known for his abstract still-life compositions exploring natural and artificial decay. Working mostly with still-lives, his work documents the physical conditions in which each image was produced. Weeks of observation and designed neglect sometimes precede hours of meticulous arrangement and subtle alteration before the photographic device intervenes. Such process implies an untold performativity which is often indicated by Besse’s distinctive motifs, including viscosity and blur.
