André Wagner (born in Chemnitz in 1980) is in search of the primeval forces of nature. Inspired by the situations he finds, sometimes supplemented by imaginative staged scenarios, he captures powerful impressions of people and places.

The exhibition shows two series from the year 2010. The central theme of these works is the overlap of different levels of time and space. With a sure sense of the simultaneity of the non-simultaneous (Ernst Bloch), Wagner catches moments of privacy that are determined by the atmosphere of the room. The portrait of a man meditating on a roof is juxtaposed with the view of an interior that is illuminated only by the light of a television set. In Wagners work every moment seems to be loaded with content which goes beyond the purely aesthetic message. This effect is enhanced still further when the photographer works with long exposures. The light imaged is my path through time, as he once described it.
