A photographer, a writer and a visual artist, Foster Mickley develops a multidisciplinary practice centered around photography and writing, nourished by a long standing admiration for Japanese photography, an engagement in literature and poetry circles, and a love for music and painting. An active member of art collectives in New-York and Berlin, his creative process infers a keen collaborative approach, a way of looking that does not preempt the given, and a practice holding that shared imagination unsettles norms, that multiplicity undermines authority – so that art can expand the possible. Throughout his years of wanders, within and for the worlds he encounters and engages with, Foster Mickley unfolds an intimate visual language. He tells them through soft and luminous forms that reveal a sense of warmth, wonder and admiration, and sketches a delicate poetics of relation.
