Marten Elder
Marten Elder’s photographic work offers a unique blend of reality and technological manipulation. Elder selects spatial situations such as sidewalks, curbs, corners, and niches—not for their obvious visual appeal, but for their potential to become something more. Through meticulous processing of the camera’s raw data, Elder’s photographs reveal vibrant tonal ranges that are often invisible to the naked eye. His images show real-world spaces that feel both familiar and abstract, offering viewers a new way of seeing the subtle interplay of colour and light in the physical world.

Renée Van Halm
Renée Van Halm’s work is deeply rooted in her extensive study and travel, both of which have shaped her understanding of architecture and its relationship with colour. Her pieces begin with digitally collaged architectural forms, where certain elements are abstracted, removed, or flattened to highlight their inherent beauty. Through her manipulation of traditional views, Van Halm brings attention to the sensory impact of colour, showing how it governs our perception of architectural space. Her work reveals the emotional and social dimensions of the environments we often take for granted.
