Charlotte Moth (born 1978 in Carshalton) is a British artist who uses principally the mediums of photography, video and sculpture, often using these works to create sculptural or architectural installations. She lives and works in Paris.
In a 2011 interview for ArtForum, Moth stated that she is "very interested in a sculptural relationship to experience. An image can later function as an aid to memory, it becomes a hybrid, and something perhaps better described as an “image-memory". [1] For Moth, photography is a way to analyse her surroundings and understand her experiences. Her photographic practice becomes a way to research subjects and future work.
In 1999, Moth started her ongoing project 'Travelogue', which is a collection of personal photographs which, grouped together, allow a glimpse into the artist's personal universe. This work was inspired by the work of Andrei Cădere, who the artist discovered in 1999. Her fascination with Cadere was engendered by her perception of his work as "an endless conceptual activity that made a separation and rupture from ideas of evolution within artistic practices and by how an underlying structure and repetitive action could become a working methodology." The work was enriched in anticipation of her 2011 exhibition at the Musée départemental d’art contemporain de Rochechouart in France, for which she discovered the archives of Raoul Hausmann, which led her to Ibiza to retrace the footsteps of the Dadaist on the Spanish island during 1933-1936. [2]
In 2015, Moth was invited by Tate Britain to create a work. Inspired by a photograph by Barbara Hepworth's, One Form (Single Form), 1937, she created an archival display to interrogate the way images are choreographed. Using ten vitrines, Moth presented images from the Tate's archives from the years of 1930 to 1960 in order to create 'thought constellations'. [3] Each vitrine treats a different element necessary to stage images of artworks: Image, Light, Book, Nature, Studio, Film, Imagination, Magic and Play.

Uta Barth is a contemporary German-American photographer whose work addresses themes such as perception, optical illusion and non-place. Her early work emerged in the late 1980s and 1990s, "inverting the notion of background and foreground" in photography and bringing awareness to a viewer's attention to visual information with in the photographic frame. Her work is as much about vision and perception as it is about the failure to see, the faith humans place in the mechanics of perception, and the precarious nature of perceptual habits. Barth's says this about her art practice: “The question for me always is how can I make you aware of your own looking, instead of losing your attention to thoughts about what it is that you are looking at." She has been honored with two National Endowments of the Arts fellowships, was a recipient of the John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in 2004‑05, and was a 2012 MacArthur Fellow. Barth lives and works in Los Angeles, California.

Her photographic work often includes panels of text of her own writing.
Gilles Larrain is a French-American photographer who believes photography is a way to "capture the landscape of the soul of a person". By taking a unique approach to photography, which includes creating his own lighting, managing the entire darkroom process, and always having subjects come to his personal studio space, Larrain has created acclaimed pieces of art since 1969. In 1973, Larrain published the highly successful photographic book, Idols, which presented portraits of transvestites. Two generations later, the book inspired American photographer Ryan McGinley who wrote an April 2010 article in Vice, which identified Larrain and the book Idols as one of his early and biggest influences for experimenting with colors, casting, and props, because all of Larrain's images in the book are raw without any manipulation. Larrain has photographed notable personalities in a wide range of creative disciplines, including the dancers of the American Ballet Theatre, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Salvador Dalí, Miles Davis, Sting, Billy Joel, Roberto Rossellini, Norman Mailer, and more.

Eva Charlotte Gyllenhammar is a fine artist based in Stockholm, Sweden. She began her career as a painter, but swiftly moved on to sculpture and installation after completing her studies at the Royal College of Art in London. In 1993, she broke through the Swedish art scene when she suspended a 120-year-old tree over Drottninggatan, the main street in the center of Stockholm. The work entitled Die for You was the first step in a progression of images and environments that invert perspective. For example, confinement and inversion are evident in her video/photographic series of suspended women entitled Belle, 1998, Disobedience, 1998, Fall, 1999, and more recently Hang 2006. The series Hang is composed of both color or c-prints and gelatin silver prints. The photographs were first premiered at Paris Photo in 2006, in the Central Exhibition, which was dedicated to the Nordic countries, where Gyllenhammar represented Sweden.
