Collection: Aram Tanis

Aram Tanis (1978) was born in Seoul and grew up in The Netherlands. He studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and the Ateliers in Amsterdam.

Isolation and standardization are important themes in his work. He also wants to make people aware of subjects they often pass by or ignore. Important motifs in his work are buildings and the urban landscape. By photographing them, Tanis wants to capture the anonymity of the contemporary urban environment and the isolation of the people who live in it.

His work about people and everyday objects refer also to this theme. He wants to show the less attractive side of life. The (social) media inundates us with stereotypes. People need to meet a certain standard to be found 'normal’. One must keep a certain lifestyle, which is ‘accepted’. The media determines how people judge things. It provides a standardization in society. Tanis feels drawn to the anti-glamour of the world we live in, therefor wants to show the other side and go beyond the façade.
