since 2011 kamila b. richter uses technically out-dated mobile phones with low-resolution cameras, to capture the nightlife on the streets of european, asian, south- and north-american cities, usually showing blurred silhouettes of human entities, often captured in backlight atmospheres of technically disintegrated surroundings. kamila b. richter is interested mainly in everything mediatised, the machine glare: the depiction of preconscious processes of sight, which our brain has learned to subconsciously construe. for kamila b. richter the camera’s blurred limited phase image is the proper reflection of reality. the abstract, mediatised reality as content and old master style oil painting technique, which she layers in weeklong work stages to finish her versions of mediatised streetscapes, materialize the tension of contemporary visual culture.
