Gabriel Zimmer

About

American b. 1986   —   Gabriel Zimmer is an artist working in photography from Brooklyn, NY. In his studio-based practice, everyday objects and materials are incorporated into personal tableaus that reflect on questions of subjectivity and uncertainty in photography. Zimmer’s work is influenced by the vernacular of commercial photography, employing artificial light and saturated color to heighten the energy of the image. These techniques lend an uncanny quality to his photographs, complicating the perceptibility of the medium at hand (his images are made in-camera with minimal post-production). Similarly, his use of transparent materials and re-photography as content in his photographs further distort the veracity of his images. Zimmer holds a BA in photography from Bard College.
