Barbara Klemm: Christo, Verhüllter Reichstag, Berlin. 1995. Gelatin silver print, signed 30 x 40 cm |

In this exhibition, Barbara Klemm will present photographs in which she directs her attention to sculpture from antiquity to the present. Sculpture and photography thus enter into an exciting dialogue. One focus of the exhibition will be Barbara Klemm's photographs of James Turrell's spectacular land art project Roden Crater, which in turn model light and landscape. What Heinrich Wefing said about these pictures – "they are studies of the elementary principles of all photography, of light and dark, depth and width, of the intensity of light and the density of shadows, nothing but almost abstract compositions" - aptly describes Barbara Klemm's decades of photographic exploration of the medium of sculpture. |
