Peter Fischli and David Weiss

Peter Fischli and David Weiss Work from Der Lauf der Dinge. “An unambiguously CORRECT result of experiments exists; this is obtained when it works, when this construction collapses. Then again, there is a BEAUTIFUL which ranks above the CORRECT; this is obtained when it’s a close shave or the construction collapses the way we want […]

Joachim Schmid

Joachim Schmid Work from O Campo.

Christoph Gielen

Christoph Gielen Work from his oeuvre. “Christoph Gielen’s photographs document urban development on three continents and over four decades and they raise universal questions about the social nature of our world. To expose the macro-structures of city planning, Gielen takes a long view. From high above in a helicopter, he focuses on housing developments, construction […]

Christine Rusche

Christine Rusche Work from Fictional Landscapes. These images are a really interesting combination of Ulrich Görlich’s 15 Landschaften and Gerhard Richter’s Overpainted Photographs.

Our knowledge of it is limited and much remains unknown and a mystery. In the […]

Sofia Hultén

Sofia Hultén Work from Points in a Room Condensing. “Sofia Hultén tries in her work to repair things that are broken, or alternately, to make them disappear. Rarely are these two objectives achieved independently, so that the focus of her videos and photographs becomes instead the circular process of making and unmaking of a series […]
