Bremer’s
technique is novel, and utterly hybrid. Using various inks, he draws
directly on slightly blurry C-print enlargements of photographs, and
often adds splotches and streaks of photographic dye. Almost always,
the underlying photographic images have much to do with personal and
family history: a best friend from Bremer’s teenage years, a shot
of himself as a kid, a view of a room taken from under his grandmother’s
piano, his family on vacation, a former girlfriend. (...)
As the images in Bremer’s photographs come in and out of view,
they seem sunken and half-hidden in the picture plane and by extension
in some remote chamber of the brain.
