MY WORK AT THE CICA MUSEUM

Sven — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 14:15:33 +0000

Five works from my HUMAN BLUR Series are currently on show at the CICA Museum, South Korea. The photographic works are part of the group exhibition “HUMANTIY”.

This exhibition illuminates humanity and humanity from personal, cultural, technological, regional and political perspectives, and explores a new humanism for our times. The works come in a variety of media, including photography, painting, video art, interactive art, sculpture, and installation art.

The curators introduction:
Photographer Sven Pfrommer has made the act of observing people in motion a central focus of his artistic work. With his long-running series HUMAN BLUR, he explores urban spaces where he, as the photographer, remains the only static element—watching as crowds flow past in a stream of kinetic energy.

These fleeting moments, charged with human energy, are captured through motion blur—transforming bustling individuals into abstract forms. People move through streets, stations, and public events seemingly without purpose, unaware of the silent observer in their midst. Though movement cannot be stopped, it can be recorded—distilled into images that offer only a hint of identity.

Pfrommer’s color-saturated, blurred compositions render figures anonymous. Contours dissolve; personalities disappear. What remains are silhouettes—reduced to form, light, and color. This deliberate abstraction dematerializes the individual, turning them into graphic elements shaped by overlapping layers and shifting shadows.

Since 2002, Pfrommer has continuously developed the HUMAN BLUR series, receiving international recognition for his distinctive visual language. His work examines the tension between presence and absence, permanence and transience—inviting viewers to reflect on the fleeting nature of human existence in contemporary urban life.
