This group exhibition presents photographic work by four photographers of the Galerie en passant. Though they have different approaches, they all reveal pictures of urban spaces. The starting point for Matthias Hagemann's pictures is the former border zone in Berlin. Here he has used a camera obscura, with exposure times lasting several minutes, to break through the dimensions of time and space. Sabine Wild likewise focuses on an urban space with political implications: her digitally processed shots of the demolition of the Palast der Republik leave nothing of the symbolic building but a skeleton in space. Jörg Schmiedekind on the other hand conducts photographic forays into the city, capturing everyday places that are easily overlooked because they are bereft of all meaning and overlaid by banal semantic systems. Alexandra Schraepler processes reproductions of architectural shots together with excerpts from reality, linking these media-based and real spaces to create new pictorial worlds on a photographic basis.
