Margarete Jakschik works with a medium format camera to render her lushly detailed and colored photographs depicting moments of quiet obscurity. Her work cultivates an aesthetic of the almost-there: what has not quite burst into the real, fraught, moving world, but that is all the more charged for its stillness. Jakschik’s mastery of cultivating effective potential energy in her photographs issues not just through her representations of obscurity and stillness, but also through her keen eye for the photographic punctum.
Exhibitions of Jakschik’s work have been held at Nino Meier Gallery, New York; Shane Campbell Gallery, Chicago; and Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf among others.
