Checking In | Erwin Olaf
Courtesy of Erwin Olaf/Hasted Hunt Kraeutler Erwin Olaf’s 2009 work, “Hotel Paris (Room 1134).”The Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf’s latest photo and video series, “Hotel” and “Dawn & Dusk,” opened last week at New York’s Hasted Hunt Kraeutler. The somewhat surreal exhibit reminds us of the artist’s gift for highly detailed but ambiguous storytelling. “I want to trigger something in your head, so that you’re going to make up your own story,” he says. While the images of “Dawn & Dusk” are series of mirror images rendered alternately in black and white and then in color, the photographs that make up “Hotel” provide plenty of room for interpretation.
