BIO

What is a Pawlok? Must an artistic standpoint lead directly to a trademark style? Must its expression be restricted to a single photographic technique? Not in the case of Werner Pawlok. He chooses the technique that best fits the project or idea. And then he turns technique into style. But as soon as Werner has brought something to perfection, it starts to bore him. Then he lets others take over. As he did with the Polaroid transfer technique he invented in the eighties. He does something else, because he doesn't believe in copying himself. Isn't this counterproductive? Wouldn't it be better to stick with a signature look, a familiar trick, a trademark technique? “Better counterproductive than boring,” says Pawlok. The one reaction he doesn't want for his photos is: Oh, sure… it's a Pawlok. If you come across a photo of his you should first be fascinated by it, then you should want to know who made it and finally you can say: Ah, Pawlok, of course. Werner Pawlok is self-taught and he doesn't stop learning; his mainspring is a thirst for knowledge and innovation. And so Pawlok's visual language bristles with dialects, slangs and antonyms, moving effortlessly between glamour and trash; convincing by the strength of the idea.
