A presentation of works by Alastair Philip Wiper
12-14 June 2025 | Store Kongensgade 88, 1265 Copenhagen K
Photographer Alastair Philip Wiper presents STATUS, a three-day exhibition and studio presentation of framed works from past exhibitions - shown together for the first time as a reflection on where the work has been, and a sign of where it might be heading.
STATUS marks a moment of transition: a final presentation in a familiar space before a studio relocation, and a chance to revisit images that have shaped more than a decade of his artistic output. The works - large-scale photographs (and a small selection of video) - explore the aesthetics of industry, science, and systems with a focus on human ambition, production, and the infrastructure of modern life.
In the course of this work, Wiper has photographed both exteriors and working interiors of factories producing aeroplanes, shoes, vodka, pianos, and more. These images record industrial production processes which both feed and are fed by our wanting for stuff - and particularly of our wanting, in the neon glow of late capitalism, for commodities. - Erin McFadyen, Foam Magazine
This isn't a formal exhibition. Most of the works won't be hung, but gathered in the space as they exist in the studio: framed, resting, and between destinations. Part archive, part open studio, part informal retrospective, STATUS is a short window into the work so far - and a quiet invitation to consider what comes next. A limited selection of large-format prints, signed editions, one-offs, and artist books will be available to collect during the event. The works span a range of past projects and series, some of which have previously been exhibited at institutions including the Design Museum London, Royal Institute of British Architects, Musée des Arts décoratifs et du Design Bordeaux, Les Champs Libres, and Copenhagen Photo Festival.
