KI Selbstporträt 2022

Boris Eldagsen wurde 1970 in Pirmasens geboren. Er studierte Fotografie und Kunst in Mainz, Prag und Hyderabad in Indien sowie Philosophie in Mainz und Köln. Seit dem Besuch einer Masterclass bei Roger Ballen stehen beide Künstler in einem regen Austausch miteinander. Multimedial arbeitend setzt er sich intensiv mit dem Unterbewusstsein auseinander, das ihn zu immer wieder neuen Bilderwelten inspiriert. 

 

Boris Eldagsen ist in der deutschen Photoszene ein Solitär, der sich keiner Schule zurechnen lässt. Seine Photo- und Video- Arbeiten wurden in Galerien und Institutionen weltweit gezeigt. Wichtige Stationen waren: Fridericianum Kassel, Deichtorhallen Hamburg, European Media Art Festival Osnabrück, MAK Wien, Edinburgh Art Festival, Moscow Museum of Modern Art, Australian Centre of Photography Sydney, Encontros da Imagem Braga, Biennale Le Havre und Biennale of Electronic Arts Perth.

 

2013 gewann er den Prix Voies Off des gleichnamigen Festivals in Arles.

2023 gewann er den Sony World Photography Awards 2023 und hat ihn abgelehnt, um eine Diskussion und Reflektion über KI generierte Bilder zu beginnen.

 

Er unterrichtet seit 2004 Kreativität, Ideenlehre und Photokunst an der Sommer-Akademie des Fotoforums Frankfurt, Akademie für Bildende Kunst Mainz, Hochschule Furtwangen, Victorian College of the Arts & Music Melbourne, Photography Studies College Melbourne und PhotoWerkBerlin.

Boris Eldagsen was born in Pirmasens in 1970. He studied photography and art in Mainz, Prague and Hyderabad in India as well as philosophy in Mainz and Cologne. Since attending a master class with Roger Ballen, both artists have been in a lively exchange with each other. Working in multimedia, he deals intensively with the subconscious, which inspires him again and again to create new worlds of images. 

 

Boris Eldagsen is a solitary artist in the German photo scene who cannot be categorised as belonging to any school. His photographic and video works have been shown in galleries and institutions worldwide. Important stations were: Fridericianum Kassel, Deichtorhallen Hamburg, European Media Art Festival Osnabrück, MAK Vienna, Edinburgh Art Festival, Moscow Museum of Modern Art, Australian Centre of Photography Sydney, Encontros da Imagem Braga, Biennale Le Havre and Biennale of Electronic Arts Perth.

 

In 2013 he won the Prix Voies Off of the festival of the same name in Arles.

In 2023, he won the Sony World Photography Awards 2023 and turned it down to start a discussion and reflection on AI generated images.

 

He has taught creativity, idea teaching and photographic art at the Fotoforum Frankfurt Summer Academy, Akademie für Bildende Kunst Mainz, Furtwangen University, Victorian College of the Arts & Music Melbourne, Photography Studies College Melbourne and PhotoWerkBerlin since 2004.
