Drawing on classical modernism, it’s design meant to signify a cosmopolitan and modern sensibility.
In his newest series of photographs, the Wiesbaden photographer, Dirk Brömmel, considers the architectural conception of this building. He employs the photographs of private and representative events stored e.g. the Federal Archives and the Federal Press Office. Brömmel shows how the cosmopolitan and the modern emerge at the intersection of private and representative spaces. | | | | | | | | | Dirk Brömmel

The artist uses a sandwich-montage method to incorporate images of the past in his own works. But in contrast to the older series, the imagery of the past takes on more than a just schematic appearance; in the new series it is superimposed upon both contemporary and other past images in ever changing compositions, ones in which the historical photographs are colored and hover before a white mount to gain their own luminosity. The photographic works of Dirk Brömmel, shown here for the first time, offer a current and novel view to the historical import of the building. | | | | | | | | | Dirk Brömmel
