Annette Kelm

Annette Kelm (born 1975 in Stuttgart, Germany) is a German contemporary artist and photographer who is particularly known as a conceptual artist. Kelm uses medium or large format cameras in her work, creating still life and portraits. She favours using analog photography methods in her work.

Kelm graduated from the Hochschule für bildende Künst in Hamburg in 2000, after which she moved to Berlin.

Kelm explores ideas through "baffling narratives" which use typology, patterns and the intersection of design and technology. Her work has been inspired by traditional photography genres such as the still-life, landscapes and portraits.The New York Times describes her work as playing with "watered-down semiotics."

Annette Kelm’s work has been collected by the Centre Pompidou, Paris, the Guggenheim Museum, New York, the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, Germany, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
