Martín Köhler
Bio
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1975. Although he graduated from law school, he has worked as an advertising photographer for over 25 years, following the dictates of his true vocation as third generation of a family of advertising agents and artist like your father Walter Köhler (a recognised painter artist of the 60s/70s and 80s who won many awards).
He likes the surrealistic photography, he founds in it the way to express his feelings: ¨Through photography I found the way to reveal the floating magic there is in objects and in people, demonstrating that fiction and reality coexist silently¨. His personal work is represented by OTTO Galería.
He currently lives and works in Buenos Aires.
Statement
MARTIN KÖHLER is also in his own way a materialist of detail, understood not as the enlargement of something minuscule but as the cut applied to a larger system. Malleable corporeities made of magnetic textures and opacities seem to stir in the silent semi-darkness of an atmosphere with veiled flashes and satin shadows. A centripetal force immerses the gaze in the metallic, cryptic forest of hybrid specimens, with synthetic limbs of voluble muscles, folded in folds and folds in conflict. Indescribable signs of a metaphorical archeology are exhibited like the remains of unknown finds, under the scrutinizing light of an imaginary laboratory, with the abysmal persistence of the indescribable.
