velvet blanche is the collection of artistic works by German photographer Kai Knoerzer.
Knoerzer (b. 1990 in Heidelberg Germany) approaches the boundaries of photography, often by questioning, disrupting and extending it's linear proccess. The conceptual body mainly revolves around topics of science like geology, botany and humanities like psychology or ontology.
He challenges the nature of photography with abstract results often being a mix of digital photography, analogue & instant film, collages, video, 3D and artificial intelligence. Sometimes the works show contemporary ascpects as the aesthetics can be connected to certain software versions, often changing within months.
