Embarking on solitary nocturnal strolls through her hometown of Utrecht and Frankfurt am Main, she seeks unintentional compositions within urban structures.

Dailleux approaches the people and places he photographs with great discretion, hoping that they will open up to him without expecting them to. The result is a collection of painterly photographs that transcend time and place. "The Egypt of Denis Dailleux reveals itself as (...) a place that harbors the eternal and the ineffable."

PadgettStrata 20 Jan – 16 Mar 2024In her artistic practice, Laura J. Padgett reveals the historical layers beneath the outer crust of the present. Her new work, which she made during the last two years at the Poelzig-Bau in Frankfurt, sheds light on the complex background of the building. Architectural and industrial history, collusion with National Socialism, post WWII history under the American military administration, and most recently becoming home to the J.W.

Everything gives off waves of energy, otherwise called frequencies. They are the very fiber of our being." Alia Ali In her fourth solo exhibition with us, Alia Ali presents vibrant and energetic new work. Full-body portraits are more common, often appearing to be in motion, and her formats have become more variable. For the first time, Alia Ali also ventures into sculpture — her hand-carved works made of Lapis Lazuli re-imagine millennia-old artifacts from … more Galerie—Peter—SillemDEGalerie—Peter—Sillem +49 69-61995550 info@galerie-peter-sillem.com Wed 10-16, Thu 10-18, Fri 10-16, Sat 14-16 Frank MädlerIm Hintergrund Wald 9 Sep – 21 Oct 2023Since early childhood, the forest has been a place of longing for Frank Mädler, connecting the familiar with the uncanny, a place where one can get lost. However, how can the forest be artistically represented, especially in times when it is directly threatened by destruction, using formal means? Frank Mädler employs photographic techniques such as focus and blur, but also intervenes in the photographic material through methods like overlays, additions, and scratches. His ceramic sc… more Galerie—Peter—SillemDEGalerie—Peter—Sillem +49 69-61995550 info@galerie-peter-sillem.com Wed 10-16, Thu 10-18, Fri 10-16, Sat 14-16 Peter BialobrzeskiÜbers Meer 15 Jul – 26 Aug 2023Peter Bialobrzeski's photographs of the seashore allow us to experience something immediate, the presence of something sublime - the memory of an idealized notion of landscape. His images can also be read as a poetic meditation on change and disappearance — like the sinking of the legendary Rungholt, the Atlantis of the North. At the same time, they explore the relationship between humans and nature as well as formally, the interplay between figure, sea, and horizon.

Bred in the villages of the Harz Mountains, the bird was not only popular for its melodius song, it was also used by miners around the world to save them from dying in the mines.

He was immediately fascinated by the lights and facades of the city and the views that were offered to him there. This resulted in atmospheric, almost abstract images that are as complex and unique as New York itself. For this exhibition, Walter Schels has unearthed treasures in his archive, gone into the darkroom to enlarge some negatives for the firs… more Galerie—Peter—SillemDEGalerie—Peter—Sillem +49 69-61995550 info@galerie-peter-sillem.com Wed 10-16, Thu 10-18, Fri 10-16, Sat 14-16 Satijn PanyigayInland 14 Jan – 25 Feb 2023In a solo exhibition the gallery for the first time presents various series by the Dutch-Hungarian artist Satijn Panyigay. Satijn Panyigay photographs empty exhibition spaces in museums and their depots, as well as interiors of newly constructed homes and buildings undergoing renovation. During solitary, meditative explorations of the void spaces awaiting use, images emerge that create a balance between light and darkness, serenity and gloom, resilience and vulnerability.

They often reproduced political events or natural disasters. The tarps photographed by Christoph Sillem in 'Daguerre,' by contrast, cloak a present referent with its perfect copy—they serve to ensure the continuity between a decayed before and the refreshed after. In a word, they seek to erase time, manifesting an ahistorical perspective which speaks volumes on the Paris that investors and urban planner… more Galerie—Peter—SillemDEGalerie—Peter—Sillem +49 69-61995550 info@galerie-peter-sillem.com Wed 10-16, Thu 10-18, Fri 10-16, Sat 14-16 Anastasia SamoylovaFloridas 30 Apr – 11 Jun 2022"Samoylova’s inventive use of colors and her skillful compositions convey ambiguity – the beauty yet also vulgarity of life in Florida. Each of her photographs tells a layered story: her attentive, eye effortlessly crops complex narratives in single frames and leaves the observer with both, the urge to connect the subject matter with their own personal experience and the longing to dive deep into collective knowledge and the history of this place – however short it may b… more Galerie—Peter—SillemDEGalerie—Peter—Sillem +49 69-61995550 info@galerie-peter-sillem.com Wed 10-16, Thu 10-18, Fri 10-16, Sat 14-16 Denis DailleuxLe pouvoir des fleurs 5 Mar – 9 Apr 2022Denis Dailleux is a sensitive photo artist and colorist. In his latest series, he portrays the flowers and people he encountered at the Malik Ghat flower market in Kolkata. "In this magical place along the Ganges with all its stalls full of jasmine, tuberose and hibiscus, I found perfectly composed still lifes. Nothing was to be added to the beauty of this place, I received the poetry that the flower stalls radiated like a gift."

PadgettRegenerating Permanence 15 Jan – 26 Feb 2022The spaces we create have meaning. These spaces are enclosed by structures. These structures definitely have meaning. What we don‘t see at first glance is the resonation of those who occupy and use these spaces, but they are there, they are palpable. Laura J. Padgett has spent time in the Frankfurt Westend Synagogue recording resonances, making images between space, structure, spirit and time.

"To me withered flowers are analogous to the faces of old people. By making them visible as individuals I place them within the cycle of birth and death. I show their beauty, uniqueness and charm. (…) I have photographed aging flowers with aging film and I am an old photographer with old cameras. In that sense these images are my homage to old age.&… more Galerie—Peter—SillemDEGalerie—Peter—Sillem +49 69-61995550 info@galerie-peter-sillem.com Wed 10-16, Thu 10-18, Fri 10-16, Sat 14-16 Grit SchwerdtfegerÜbergang 16 Jul – 28 Aug 2021In her latest series "Übergang" ('transition'), Leipzig-based artist Grit Schwerdtfeger, a master student of Joachim Brohm, explores the floating and unprotected state of the transitory - be it scenic-spatial, temporal or biographical transitions.

Each frame is uniquely upholstered with wax print sourced from Cote d’Ivoire. While some of the images distort visibility, others create hypervisibility almost negating themselves into animated forms of camouflage.

PadgettOpen Equations 7 Sep – 19 Oct 2019In her most recent work, Laura J. Padgett continues her exploration into public and private space and the places in between. The way in which we structure and delineate our environment is always an expression of our relationship to society and is coincident to the visual. In many situations the gaze replaces our physical ability to enter a particular location.
