Interview with Boris Eldagsen | EP19 Subtext & Discourse

Author: Michael Dooney March 15, 2020 Duration: 37:00

Hope that everyone is taking care in light of current events and the uncertain outcome of the corona virus. In today's episode of Subtext & Discourse I caught up with Berlin based photo media artist Boris Eldagsen. I've known Boris for many years now and in fact interviewed him back in 2014 when we presented his series Safety by Numbers in a group show about typologies.

Picking up where the previous conversation left off, we find out how his artistic process has evolved over the past six years, the new direction his work has taken, how photography festivals were a game changer, the influence of Roger Ballen on his work and upcoming solo exhibition this summer during the 2020 edition of Les Rencontres d'Arles in the south of France.

Interview with Boris Eldagsen recorded by Michael Dooney on 14. February 2020 at Boris's studio in Berlin, Germany.

Berlin-based gallery director and educator Michael Dooney hosts Subtext and Discourse | Art World Podcast, a series built on the understanding that the art world and its market can feel opaque and exclusive. Each conversation moves beyond surface-level commentary, delving into the personal journeys and candid reflections of artists, curators, and various professionals. You’ll hear firsthand accounts of navigating this unique field-the challenges, the triumphs, and the realities that rarely make it into a press release. This podcast serves as a bridge for anyone who has ever felt hesitant in a gallery space or curious about the forces shaping contemporary creativity. Michael facilitates discussions that unpack how the industry actually functions, from studio practice to exhibition-making and beyond. New episodes arrive every second Monday, offering consistent insight. Tuning in provides a sense of access and clarity, transforming distant perception into engaged understanding through the power of direct, personal narrative.
