    MY WORK AT THE CICA MUSEUM

    MY WORK AT THE CICA MUSEUM

    Five works from my HUMAN BLUR Series are currently on show at the CICA Museum, South Korea. The photographic works are part of the group exhibition “HUMANTIY”. This exhibition illuminates humanity and humanity from personal, cultural, technological, regional and political perspectives, and explores a new humanism for our times. The works come in a variety of media, including photography, painting, video art, interactive art, sculpture, and installation art. The curators introduction: Photographer Sven Pfrommer has made the act of observing people in motion a central focus of his artistic work. With his long-running series HUMAN BLUR, he explores urban spaces where he, as the photographer, remains the only static element—watching as crowds flow past in a stream of kinetic energy. These fleeting moments, charged with human energy, are captured through motion blur—transforming bustling individuals into abstract forms. People move through streets, stations, and public events seemingly without purpose, unaware of the silent observer in their midst. Though movement cannot be stopped, it can be recorded—distilled into images that offer only a hint of identity. Pfrommer’s color-saturated, blurred compositions render figures anonymous. Contours dissolve; personalities disappear. What remains are silhouettes—reduced to form, light, and color. This deliberate abstraction dematerializes the individual, turning them into graphic elements shaped by overlapping layers and shifting shadows. Since 2002, Pfrommer has continuously developed the HUMAN BLUR series, receiving international recognition for his distinctive visual language. His work examines the tension between presence and absence, permanence and transience—inviting viewers to reflect on the fleeting nature of human existence in contemporary urban life.

    Artwork Selected for Caesars Palace’s Octavius Suites

    Artwork Selected for Caesars Palace’s Octavius Suites

    My Fluid Horizon Artwork Selected for Caesars Palace’s Octavius Suites My work Fluid Horizon L has been selected for the Octavius Suites at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, located in the contemporary Octavius Tower. This placement highlights a meaningful intersection between fine art photography and luxury hospitality design, and I’m glad to have my work become part of such an iconic and world-renowned destination. The Fluid Horizon series—created in 2022—explores abstract seascapes through an experimental photographic process. By shooting through found pieces of glass, I distort the traditional horizon line and create shifting bands of color, movement, and atmosphere. These images evoke a sense of calm and fluidity, offering viewers a meditative visual experience that contrasts beautifully with the vibrant energy of Las Vegas. The curatorial team of the project selected this work for its ability to create tranquility within high-end interior spaces, enhancing the refined environment of the Octavius Suites. These suites are known for their modern elegance, premium design, and focus on offering guests an exceptional, immersive stay. The inclusion of contemporary art plays a key role in shaping this experience—transforming rooms into curated environments that blend comfort, sophistication, and visual impact.

    My works part of the group exhibition “INVENTORY: PERSONAL” NEUES KUNSTHAUS AHRENSHOOP.

    I´m delighted to be a part of the group exhibition “INVENTORY: PERSONAL” at the NEUES KUNSTHAUS AHRENSHOOP. The exhibition showcases the multifaceted nature of printmaking – exploring the interplay between figure and expression. The focus is on the human being – their form, their presence, their inner and outer movements. From studies to abstracted forms, from portraits to staged scenes, the works unfold a vibrant picture of figurative printmaking today. Featuring works by Angela Hampel, Ute Laux, Emma Gunnarsson, Angelique van Wesemael, Klaus Walter, Sven Pfrommer, and Kerstin Ostwald. Complemented by sculptures by Lothar Seruset and Reinhard Thürmer. Curated by Tina Flau. Opening on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at 5 p.m. Exhibition dates: December 14, 2025 – March 23, 2026 My Statement about my series from the exhibition: This early photo-etching series, hand-printed in 1997 at the BKK Druckwerkstatt in Berlin, marks a formative step in my artistic development. Working directly with copper plates and traditional intaglio techniques, I explored how photographic imagery could be transformed through tactile processes—scratches, aquatint textures, and the pressure of the press. Each print carries the physical trace of the studio: ink embedded in paper fibers, controlled imperfections, and subtle tonal shifts that push the photographs toward abstraction. These works reflect my long-standing interest in merging photography with printmaking and in expanding the image beyond its mechanical origins into a more material, crafted presence.
