Publisher Note
Amok is André Gelpke‘s personal commentary on the absurdities of our world. True to the artist’s motto, “Photography is a whore, never faithful, always feigning,” Gelpke uses the medium to formulate his subjective view of the world. Without being explanatory or anecdotal, he examines, with the help of the camera, the small, naturally occurring settings of everyday life.
In Amok, Gelpke explores the narrative affinity between photography and literature. Just like words, images are Gelpke’s means to organize his observances, and to initiate visual and substantive ties. It reflects Gelpke’s mania for taking photographs, challenging the world with his pictures.
