The Hotel series is a continuation of his previous series such as Rain (2004), Hope (2005) and Grief (2007) in which the world-famous Dutch artist was already exploring human loneliness. Inspired by his own journeys, in Hotel we discover nude models installed in provocative poses in Hotel rooms in Moscow, Paris and Milan. The out of timescenery, in different shades of brown and pastel marked by a 60’s feel, reminds us of the stages of Hope and Grief. Such as in Grief, Erwin Olaf focus on thedetail – shoes carelessly taken off, a glass of juice as the only touch of color in the room or the light on an answering machine.The Hotel models seems idle. Their eyes often look down to the ground and when they fix on the camera wesuddenly discover a look full of melancholy, like Irma in the Milano Hotel. She looks as if she was overcome by an inner nostalgia which reminds us of Irene’s look inGrief. As if the loneliness and the empty space that Erwin Olaf photographed in his previous series wasn’t totally blurred.The Magda Danysz gallery will also present works of the Dusk and Dawn series, never shown in France. His work – from Dusk to Dawn – reveals intimate interiors from the beginning of the 20th century where a drama seemingly appears; a totally black universe surrounding an African- American family in Dusk which contrasts with the indisputably white space of Dawn. Erwin Olaf is an exceptional photographer, he has been a part of important collections such as the Groninger Museum or the Margulies in the United States. Through these three series, he shows us his sensitivity, concern for detail and aptness for depicting a contemporary state of society with sophisticated images.
