Neuware - At first glance, the images appear to show an artists' studio, that of German-Swiss artist duo Cortis & Sonderegger, with its clutter of everyday objects. Yet, suddenly, perspective shifts-large things appear small, and small ones appear impossibly big. In Studio, Jojakim Cortis and Adrian Sonderegger play a sophisticated game with and about the authenticity of photography. Boundaries between the genuine and the fake become blurred. Cortis & Sonderegger built a detailed model of their workspace near Zurich complete with much of its furnishings, of which they took countless photographs. These images turn our viewing experience upside down and invite us to take a closer look. The artists' play with reality becomes visible on various levels: the view from the model's window shows the real studio space; proportions look weirdly distorted; and occasionally, Cortis & Sonderegger themselves appear as protagonists. In today's world, with myriad images produced every day, Cortis & Sonderegger's Studio series constitutes a counterpoint to the latest developments in photography and artificial intelligence-based image generation. A brief text by the Catalan conceptual artist, photographer, writer, educator, and curator Joan Fontcuberta rounds off this intriguing volume. ; Auf den ersten Blick sehen wir auf Fotografien ein Künstleratelier - jenes des Künstlerduos Cortis & Sonderegger - mitsamt vermeintlichen Alltagsgegenständen. Doch Grosses erscheint plötzlich klein und Kleines gross, und manchmal will die Perspektive einfach nicht stimmen! Cortis & Sonderegger erzeugen ein raffiniertes Spiel mit und über die Authentizität der Fotografie. Die Grenze zwischen echt und imitiert verschwimmt. Jojakim Cortis und Adrian Sonderegger haben ihr eigenes Studio mit zahlreichen Einrichtungsgegenständen als detailgetreues Modell nachgebaut. Die davon aufgenommenen stimmungsvollen Fotografien verwirren, stellen Sehgewohnheiten auf den Kopf und regen zum zweiten Blick, zur genauen Betrachtung an. Indizien für das verwirrende Spielen mit Modell und Wirklichkeit finden sich auf verschiedenen Ebenen: Der Blick aus dem Fenster des Modells offenbart das «echte» Studio, Grössenverhältnisse scheinen durcheinander geraten zu sein, und manchmal tauchen die Künstler selber als Protagonisten auf. In einer Zeit, in der so viele Bilder wie nie zuvor gemacht werden, bildet Cortis & Sondereggers Studio -Serie einen Gegenpol zu neuesten Entwicklungen im Bereich der Fotografie und KI-basierter Bildgenerierung. Das faszinierende Buch wird abgerundet durch einen kurzen Text des katalanischen Konzeptkünstlers, Fotografen, Autoren, Kunstvermittlers und Kuratoren Joan Fontcuberta. 106 pp. Englisch, Deutsch. …

- Text in English and German
At first glance, we see an artist's studio—photographs of the studio of the German-Swiss artist duo Cortis & Sonderegger—that contains all sorts of what seem to be everyday objects. Yet suddenly, large things appear small and little ones quite big, and sometimes the perspective is just not right. Jojakim Cortis and Adrian Sonderegger play a sophisticated game with and about the authenticity of photography. Boundaries between the genuine and the fake get blurred.
During the covid pandemic in 2020- 21, Cortis & Sonderegger built a detailed model of their own studio near Zurich with much of its furnishings, of which they took countless photographs. These images are confusing, turn our viewing habits upside down, and invite to take a closer look. The artists' play with model and reality becomes visible on various levels: the view from the model's window shows the real studio space; proportions look weirdly distorted; and occasionally, Cortis & Sonderegger themselves appear as protagonists.
In today's world, with myriads of images produced every day, Cortis & Sonderegger's Studio series constitutes a counterpoint to latest developments in of photography and AI-based image generation.
