Pam Kleemann is a photographer and conceptual artist with a career spanning more than 25 years. Kleemann uses different techniques to free her images and give them a more three-dimensional feel. She doesn't create standard photographic prints on paper. In the past her photographs have appeared on hospital beds, vinyl LP's and also been constructed into product ranges. In her more recent projects, she has served her artwork to the public as sumptuous cafés and banquet feasts, with the photographs on platters, cake-stands, cookware, tablecloths and napkins. Her focus is the human body and a growing sense of humanity being commodified, consumed and de-valued, the disadvantaged akin to leftovers.
