DAS NAHE UND DIE FERNE - PHOTOGRAPHY AND SPACE
KüNSTLERHAUS DORTMUND
APRIL 6 - MAY 12
PRIVATE VIEW APRIL 5, 8 pm
"The photograph of the missing being will touch me like the delayed rays of a star."
Roland Barthes
The exhibition presents photographic works that express a particular feeling for space and thereby challenge and expand our perception of reality. The artists explore boundaries between what seems fact-based and real on the one hand and what seems more distant, presumed or desired. Their photography remains true to its tradition of depicting what has been seen. Images arise from inside the camera, without technical modifications or manipulations. Despite, or even due to their reality-related and technically understandable photography the works radiate something slightly beyond our grasp.
