Ragusa Foto Festival 12

First exhibition of the new SICILIA series

I am happy and grateful that my series SICILIA, which I only started in June 2024, will be shown at the Ragusa Photo Festival from 30 August to 30 September 2024. This work in progress is being created in collaboration with Fondazione Sylva and with the valuable support of Luigi de Vecchi. On the fascinating island of Sicily, I take portraits of people who inspire me and ask them about their favourite tree. The photographic duet of both beings is a portrait of an island that has many Sicilies in it, as well as a celebration of every life on our planet that needs to be protected.

Location: Palazzo Cosentini
Opening on 30 and 31 August and 1 September 2024
Exhibition until 30 September 2024

beautiful – Photographs and Texts

Solo exhibition at the Kommunale Galerie Berlin from September 4 to October 23, 2022.

Opening on Sunday, September 4, 2022, 12 p.m.

The series “beautiful” by Loredana Nemes is a photographic journey to the country of her childhood: born in 1972 in Sibiu, Romania, the artist returned there annually between 2002 and 2013 – in search of memory, which also finds expression in poetictexts, but all with an eye for the changed present. These are quiet images that capture the unspectacular everyday life, impressive black and white ‘portraits’ that find their counterpart in landscape photographs.

This exhibition is only possible thanks to the generous sponsorship and valuable efforts of Angela Maas and Thomas Kempen from Aachen. My heartfelt thanks go to both of them.

Greytree and Heavensea

Exhibition in Stadthaus Ulm from March 20th till June 6th 2022

The work “Greytree and Heavensea” by Loredana Nemes was created over a period of two and a half years on the island of Rügen, a place the artist chose as a retreat. In the Jasmund National Park, she began photographing the beech forest and juxtaposes these shots with views of the expanse of the sea. After a dozen visits in every season, the series is now being exhibited for the first time in the Stadthaus Ulm. A publication will be produced this summer.

Passion Portrait

Solo exhibition at Kunstverein Konstanz from February 19th till April 17th 2022

The portrait is the second oldest genre of photography. Capturing the essence of a person has challenged photographers since the invention of the medium. But how much a picture can say about a person, what becomes visible between the surface and the core of the being, is a much-discussed question. Loredana Nemes also explores the possible gain in knowledge of a portrait with four of her series of works that have already been exhibited many times and are presented at the Kunstverein Konstanz. In a conceptual approach, she questions the possibilities of a portrait and creates idiosyncratic, complex compositions that are rooted in memory and whose visual languages vary in each case.
