At PHOTO 2024 Jana Hartmann is exhibiting her project Mastering the Elements at Abbotsford Convent.

Mastering the Elements considers the scientific exploration and eventual conquest of nature – from the beginnings of alchemy to the present day.
By combining philosophy and photography, these images take a visual journey through topics that have captivated the researchers throughout history, from traditional medicine and classical concepts of matter, to biogerontology (the science of ageing) and quantum physics.

Curated by PHOTO 2024 Australia and supported by Fini Frames.

Jana Hartmann (*1971) is a visual artist from Frankfurt, Germany. In her long-term projects across media and conceptual paradigms she critically reflects our notions of nature, as manifested among others in the natural sciences, in virtual or urban spheres. Embracing her belief that our complex world can be best comprehended through transdisciplinary exchange, Hartmann’s works are founded on multi-perspective research and a broad dialogue with natural scientists, philosophers and historians.
