商品簡介
Deserted spaces capture the interest of the photographer Anna Lehmann-Brauns
(b. Berlin, 1968; lives and works in Berlin): her spaces nonetheless
teem with images of collective and personal recollection. In pictures that suggest
cool dispassion only at first glance, the artist, who studied with Joachim Brohm
at the Academy of Visual Arts (HGB) in Leipzig, lends her motifs, which she
captures using analogue technology and without artificial lighting, a mysterious,
forlorn, and even somewhat surreal aura. Lehmann-Brauns, who has traveled
the world with her camera, was in Poland when she chanced upon a factory for
funfair equipment and theme park decors on the premises of what used to be a
German yarn factory in Silesia. Covered by a highly toxic layer of fiberglass dust,
"Laurel and Hardy" stand surrounded by dwarves, angels, and beasts--they all
form the crumbling backdrop for a peculiar chapter in Eastern Europe's recent
and contemporary history. Essays by Sabine Ziegenrucker and Matthias Harder.
