"Extract"- The artist Thomas Florschuetz became known through large-format photographs of his own body as well as later images of buildings and everyday objects.
The photographic subjects of the exhibition include two buildings by Louis Kahn, Oscar Niemeyer’s Brasilia, David Chipperfield’s Neues Museum and the Palast der Republik in Berlin. Of particular interest to Florschuetz is the fragmentation of architecture and its physical and spatial presence in a picture. The fascination of the selected photographs lies in the tension between planar abstraction and spatial depth, between the social significance of the buildings and the archaic beauty of the traces left by the passage of time.
