About
|
Joachim Froese is a photographic artist and educator based in Brisbane and Berlin. Renowned for a practice spanning more than three decades, he has developed a reputation for combining exceptional technical expertise across a wide range of photographic processes with a highly conceptual approach. At the core of his work lies an ongoing inquiry into how photography is used to construct, interpret, and mediate the world around us.
While Froese first became known for his meticulous still life series that explore memory, time, and personal narrative, his more recent practice has concentrated on salt printing. By revisiting this 19th-century process in innovative ways, he creates unique works that inhabit the space between historical tradition and contemporary experimentation. Alongside his studio practice, Froese has been a dedicated educator, teaching photography at universities and art schools in Australia and Germany, and contributing to the formation of a new generation of photographic artists. His work has been exhibited widely across Australia, Europe, Asia, and North America, and is represented in major public collections including the National Gallery of Australia, the National Portrait Gallery, and the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art. |
