This exhibition of work by Thomas Graichen investigates the liminal areas of photography as a method for dealing with light. Here Graichen penetrates into dimensions where time seems to come to a stop, and structures suddenly take on a guise different from the accustomed one. In this way he is searching for an abstract presentation of the everyday urban space that surrounds us on all sides. He succeeds in creating a new point of view on the basis of unexpected associations.
His characteristic visual idiom is created with the help of the simplest form of the camera known to man the pinhole camera. Driven by the fascination of its magical lack of focus, and of the (so to speak) minimalistically perfect imperfect pictures that result, he finds the inspiration to depict the spaces he investigates, sometimes using very long exposure times.
In addition to the exhibition on its own premises, the Galerie RS 21 Berlin is presenting a selection from the works at the place where they were created at the Filmkunsthaus Babylon in the Berlin-Mitte district.
