Explosions / with-without My Friends, Vol. 1

Explosions/ with-without my friends presents the dynamic photographic works by Christian Andersen. The conceptual artist and designer creates elaborate photographs via computermontage that meticulously reconstruct explosions of places and objects. In Explosions and as in virtual reality, Andersen blasts places that are of special importance to him, for example his own studio and a friend s car. In addition to the five core pieces, he keenly assembles low-tech black and white photographies to illustrate temporal, spatial and human correlations. Andersen has a very strong personal relationship to all of the places and objects shown.

Reared in poverty, Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen created more than 200 folk and fairy tales beloved by countless generations of children -- and adults.
