About Imaginary Club

"For many years Oliver Sieber has been asking young people to appear before his camera. People, whose clothing is associated with a specific subculture, be it punk, skin, Teddy boy, rockabilly, goth, etc. Many are extravagantly styled, yet while sometimes the look is an elaborate act, other times an individual figure’s appearance strikes the artist’s interest. Despite the narrow frame and the precision of the photographic depiction, the form of Sieber’s portraits lends the models a certain freedom. Seemingly lost in their thoughts. Staring into the distance, they also exude an autonomy. A presence within themselves at the moment when the image is made." - from the publisher Imaginary Club won PhotoBook of the Year in 2014, it then sold out within months of winning the award. So, “The final cut of Oliver Sieber's long term project Imaginary Club is an amazing 430 page juxtaposition of black and white images and colour portraits. With its diversity of styles and subject matter, Sieber's photobook is part of a hybrid aesthetic specific to the 21st century. It is a contemporary photographic landmark based on the work of August Sander and Daido Moriyama”, - Markus Schaden.
