“Eva Stenram was born in Stockholm and currently lives in London where she received an MA in Photography from the Royal College of Art. She uses image manipulation to explore photography as a medium of flux, inconstancy and transformation. In addition to creating her own photographs, Stenram often utilises found imagery in order to unsettle the original functions of familiar photographic genres. Her subjects have included pornography, CCTV, travel photography, NASA images and the family album. Photography’s imaginary and fictional status is emphasised.” – Eva Stenram
“The work is made from a process of searching for images and then comparing and contrasting, cutting out sections, sometimes creating a sheet similar to a sticker sheet of cut outs, and then collaging different high resolution photographs to create a new image. The newly composed images are then uploaded back to the internet, in hopes to be lost into the mass amount of images on the internet. The work uses and changes vernacular photography from a snap shot to a composed image.” – Untitled Cereal

“The Last Image draws parallels between the death-drive that spurs urban development and that which fuels image making and meaning making in general, by using the figure of a property developer and builder from Bangalore, M. S. Ramaiah (1922-1997), who is said to have believed that he would die if he ever stopped building.

Today I would just like to show few photographs from my current project. I am working on it now and it should be completed within next few days. It’s again still-lifes on 4×5 color transparencies, like “Garden of Eden”. It’s titled “Alien Civilization” and features photographs of parts of various home appliances that everyone uses on daily basis. They look a little bit like photographs of space-ships and other sets from SF movies.
