1) Anna Lehmann-Brauns is German photographer who photographs settings void of people. These photos show interiors that she has built and locations that she's discovered. She has an interesting use of light that gives the images a feeling of being in the past.
2) In her work, Anna explores the concept of a room as the site of a personal memory. By not including figures in her work, her photos become a place where time stands still. Her images evoke a reflection of the past that leaves room for the viewer to form his/her own conclusions about what took place in these locations.
3) I really enjoy Anna's work. Her locations feel familiar, yet distant because there are no people in the photos. Her images read as a memory or of a place that has been forgotten. When looking at these images, I find myself wondering when were these images taken and what the history of the locations are. It also makes me wonder what activities took place and who visited/lived in these spaces. The mystery of the photographs creates many questions, forcing the viewer to respond in his/her own way.
Love the color contrast in all the photos. The rooms are beautiful composed and make me feel isolated, but not in a bad way.
