CHRIS KITZE

“My work is solitary, yet created in public places, where it bears witness to a global transformation.”

Kitze’s lifelong romance with the photographic arts began when he took an Instamatic photo of Apollo 13 on its launch pad.  Trained in commercial design studios and photographic labs,  the artist worked in advertising, product and technical photography, as well as traditional landscape fine art photography before recognizing the emerging possibilities in software and digital media. 

In his work, Kitze explores the intersection of technology, media and popular culture. The photographs in The Electric Image series have the appearance of digital compositing, but with the exception of modest digital retouching, each image is photographed as it was found in a public place. The viewer is challenged to decode the multiple, overlapping messages and meanings in each image, as well as, the new context of the media and environment where the image is viewed.
