Jan Paul Evers, Vergegenwärtige Möglichkeit produktivitätsvermehrender Abkühlung, 2018
, Gelatin silver print, 80 x 80 cm
Kollitsch Collection
The essence of the picture compositions by Jan Paul Evers is based on the theme itself and a comprehensive work process takes shape in the darkroom. His photographs of architecture, landscapes, people and everyday objects are subjected to a multi-layer transformation process which converts the original theme as the starting point into a new picture form, thereby creating a unique piece.

Jan Paul Evers, Das Leben und der Tod (Jacques Tati), 2019
, Gelatin silver print on baryta paper, hand print, 61 × 48 cm
Kollitsch Collection
In his oeuvre, Jan Paul Evers explores the technical possibilities of analogous black and white camerawork. Starting with a photograph, he creates new, sometimes abstract shapes in a complex darkroom process. The shapes are rooted in his conceptual exploration of space and are brought to life through the effective use of grayscales, the interplay of light and shadow and the use of templates and experimental techniques.
