Ina Schoof & Ana Baumgart: Concept of the Intermediate
Ina Schoof and Ana Baumgart are two German photographers and media artists. The two women are based in Berlin but spent a lot of time travelling. We met the two artists in the Sahara Desert in Morocco – a truly miracle place where the two conducted an interesting art project. Ina and Ana say that there is no more unknown territory to explore, so they suggest constructing them. They made a fishing net, took it out of its regular context and brought it to the Sahara Desert. Here the net appears like an alien object. The two photographers capture people’s reaction to the fishing net and also place the net itself in this unconventional surrounding as a kind of art-installation. Ana and Ina say: “Through the combination of differences – each one being common in itself — the intermediate can occur, something new, something unknown. It’s about constructing new territory. …avant-garde is the search for one’s own blank space, where the ground becomes shaky.” Find out more about the two photographers on their websites.
