INTERFACE Contemporary photography Dear Arturo, I’m on a train from Berlin to Ludwigsburg, a short trip compared to those transatlantic flights that we were so used to. The Outside world seems so distant and unreal through the yellow glass. Almost as if I was looking at a computer screen. I feel isolated, apart from nature and life. Is this our future? Looking at second hand nature, on handheld gadgets, face-masks, vaccinated and digitally connected? The blur between analogue and digital already happened. We are in the middle of the outside and the inside. We are the interface! My work deals with this thin line between the real and the unreal, the digital and the analogue. The infinite cosmos behind me and the man-made universe inside the computer in front of me. I am the interface. I am the small chip in this vast system that generates sense and non-sense. I question Identities, gender and properties; at least for myself. The characters in my photographs are lonely hunters for love and affection in a cold and unreal digital confined world. But so am I in the world I grew up in with it’s traditions, borders, rules and regulations. We talk about identities by only enforcing the differences between us. We claim copyrights by only accepting ownerships and capitalism. I liquify these characters to fit into our new world of content that is shaping us and we seem to adapt by evolving from personality to identity. The lines are blurred. Khan

@khan_of_finland Interface #soloshow Opening: SAT. OCT. 16th. 11-18h... INTERFACE Contemporary photography Placed in a post-gender era, Khan’s images ask us whether they are a current form of photography, in which the artist’s use of digital edition, painting and printing tools configure something different than what is captured, that is, the opposite of the original purpose of photography. Khan has been a DJ, music producer, performer, visual artist and art director in NYC’s and Berlin’s foremost scenes during two decades. He is currently working for Christian Dior in Berlin. This exhibition had to wait for a long time due to Covid’s Pandemia which has already turned the world deeper into a new interPHASE.

@khan_of_finland Interface #soloshow Opening: SAT. OCT. 16th. 11-18h... INTERFACE Contemporary photography exhibition In his series of anonymous yet universal portraits, Khan subverted and un-identified a selection of profile pictures, using them as a digital mat to intervene and remix each one in order to create a new persona. We recognize just the keys of a fragmented whole, allowing us to peek into personal cruising habits as a voyeur seduced by a pictorial halo reminiscent of George Condo, Philip Guston or Francis Bacon. These portraits are accompanied by large night landscapes photographs, taken at Berlin‘s cruising park Hasenheide during winter. Deserted, after losing it’s green coverage, the park’s nature is revealed as the architecture of cruising. An interface exposed with its ability to grow and organize around human behavior. Hal Foster (Princeton) said about the portrait in contemporary-photography that it verges on a representation of the body as if it were turned inside out of the subject. Literally abject, thrown out of itself, despite it is also the condition of the outside turned in. The invasion of the subject by the gaze of the world
