Event: JORIS GRAAF MEETS NEUEHEIMAT
Dates: 20 Oct 2018 - 21 Oct 2018
Combined photo-music event with NEUEHEIMAT
neueheimat is a musical refuge for dennis grell and philipp staudinger, two producers from hamburg.
A stylistic spectrum ranging from deep electronica (quartier3 with heiko laux rex) to hypnotic turbulent sounds (methode mensch), both searching for new ways to experience sounds using obscure devices.
neueheimat live is a lesson in silence and contemplation.
The essence lies in reduction, in thinking and acting, black is the face it presents on the outside.

Biography
In his moody, abstract paintings and digital photo art, self-taught visual artist Joris Graaf (The Hague, 1980) seeks to create tension by forming a synthesis of opposites: noise and melody, order and chaos, growth and decay. Purely driven by emotion, his work revolves around themes such as loneliness, fear and depression. Music and the associated visuals, such as album covers, are a strong influence. There is no story or message in his work. It is about creating atmosphere, about making the viewer feel something.
Joris was recently selected for New Dutch Photography Talent 2019 and the first edition of Fresh Eyes by GUP magazine.
"FRESH EYES celebrates the best photography talent in Europe. It is a book presenting the 100 greatest emerging photographers the continent has to offer. The first edition, FRESH EYES 2019, was launched in June."
