The Unspecific Measurement of Distance

Boris Becker, Peter Kaaden, Marina Richter, Rainer Sioda, Miron Zownir

The Unspecific Measurement of Distance presents an area of artistic positions in contemporary photography. Using a drastic and desolate photographic language, Miron Zownir, the ‘poet of radical photography’, articulates the parallel lives of outsiders in a seemingly timeless shadow world. In Boris Becker’s works, a carefully chosen camera perspective and precisely determined moment of exposure release architectural scenes from their real-life contexts and lend them a new semantic meaning. For nearly thirty years, Rainer Sioda has been taking photographs of his hometown Berlin and its periphery. His current series FACK presents a bleak picture of regions in Brandenburg affected by work-related migration. Marina Richter’s photographic world expresses itself in a poetic way via excerpts, set pieces and details of bodies and surroundings familiar to her. In the series NAAKED, Peter Kaaden gets unusually close to his models. Using a macro camera, he transforms bodies into landscapes that fill the picture frame.
