Crass Clement

Life
Krass Clement grew up in Copenhagen as the son of a painter and a pianist. He first turned to film, made short films and studied directing at the Danish Film School. Eventually, however, he continued his previous photography practice, which he had started as a teenager on city trips to Berlin, London and Paris, and he finally decided in favor of photography. In 1978 Clement's first photo book (“Skygger af ojeblikke”, shadow of a moment) was published, which was followed by many more. His photo documentation of the rock festival Roskilde in 2003 received a lot of attention . Krass Clement is considered one of the most important contemporary photographers in Denmark. In 1997 he received a lifelong grant from the Danish state art foundation, Statens Kunstfond .
plant
Krass Clement mainly photographs urban spaces, streets, squares and city dwellers. He is primarily devoted to metropolitan dreariness and socially marginalized urban life - and thus has an aspect of social-documentary photography . He creates photographic essays that consist of individual sequences and are reminiscent of the film montage. Clemens photographed for many years exclusively in black and white and used a miniature camera , he turned to 2000 of color photography to and uses a medium-format camera .
