In the exhibition "nameless", fotodiskurs presents a juxtaposition of the Photoworks by Jeff Cowen with iron sculptures by Werner Knaupp. Rooted in existential experiences, Werner Knaupp tears apart the shells of his sculptures. He leaves the torn-open, hollow remains of the bodies in the tub and shaft, which will remain there forever. In pursuit of the timeless moment, Jeff Cowen illuminates the invisible world by applying complex darkroom chemicals on silver gelatin paper. He attacks the pri… more

In the exhibition "unseen life", fotodiskurs brings together two artists from opposite regions of Germany, from the Oderbruch and the Black Forest. Each in his own way and each in his very own medium, both are concerned with aspects of live that are usually hidden and taken for granted in our everyday lives.

With "furor" fotodiskurs brings together two artists who are both fascinated by Iceland. At first, however, Werner Knaupp's paintings and Christof Rehm's photographs have little in common.

Werner Knaupp applies acrylic paint layer by layer on canvas with a pasty brushstroke. His palette is limited to black and white, the latter increasingly withdrawing from the paintings. Black rocks and cliffs rise lonely from wildly surging waves. The narrow strip of sky above the horizo… more

The negatives had sufered from mould and water damage. As the marks left by these natural processes were examined they appeared to create new landscapes, strangely referring back to the … more

fotodiskurs presents Christof Rehm’s recent body of work Curonian Spit for the first time as a solo presentation.
In this photographic work, Christof Rehm stratifies times and techniques as well as putting past and present on top of each other. He shows landscapes of Erna Lendvai-Dircksen through his lens, forms historical photographs with simple means to contemporary images.

Fontcuberta zeigt in seiner Präsentation im fotodiskurs Fotografien aus diversen spanischen Archiven. Alle sind sie in gewisser Weise krank oder verletzt. Befallen vom Fraß der Zeit, beschädigt durch Pilzbefall, nachoxidierte Silberionen oder verkratzte Emulsionsschichten verlieren sie ihre dokumentarische Bedeutung. Sie sind archivarisch wertlos. Doch gewinnen die so traumatisierten Fotografien eine bildliche Qualität, die den Betrachter in Traumwelten führt, in denen … more
