FR Between art and technique, David Brenkus peers into a parallel universe where reality and the ineffable are confused in an instant. Craftsman, artist and experimentalist, he makes art that playfully and relentlessly causes the viewer to question, just as he does, while turning assumptions on their heads. What is a photograph? What is the nature of reality? What is it to see clearly?
Methodical, always looking for something new, David Brenkus constantly tries to evolve the photographic medium through his research. To show what has not yet been glimpsed and what will transform us into an actor of the image.
From photography to programming, from analog to digital, he alters the techniques and methods of production to better appropriate them. In order to paint with light, he will create his own lenses with broken glass; to control the light, he will launch body and soul in the construction of a structure with systems of reflection in spaces recreated in 3D.
These are just excerpts from the many experiences that led him to rethink his medium and transform it to something still unknown. An experimental photographer above all, he uses experimentation as a method to apprehend the real, to paint it from every angle.
