Jonas St. Michael
Jonas St. Michael’s photographic practice examines the nature of representation and narrativity through image production. More recently, his practice has shifted to making photographic and video works that are conspicuously constructed with the aim of creating an ostensible reality.
Jonas St. Michael was born in Montreal and holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Goldsmiths, University of London. He has exhibited works at MOMENTA Biennale de l’image, Montreal; Haus am Lützowplatz, Berlin; and OK Harris Works of Art, New York, among others.

Artist
Esther Hovers
In her practice, Esther Hovers investigates how power, politics and control are exercised through urban planning and the use of public space. She was trained as a photographer but creates installations in which photographs, drawings, text and film play an equal part.

Esther Hovers has exhibited at GEM, Museum of Contemporary Art, The Hague; C/O Berlin; and the National Gallery in Prague, among others.
