| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hiroyuki Masuyama, Flowers No. 10, 2016 © Hiroyuki Masuyama | | | REFLECTION | | | | | | | 12 – 15 September, 2017 | Opening: Tuesday, 12 September, 21:00-23:00 | | | Hiroyuki Masuyama is known in Luxembourg for his William Turner series.
His love for nature has inspired him to create a series of lightboxes, which emphasize the merging of temporal and spacial perspectives into a new visual impression, challenging conventional viewing habits. With his series "Flowers", he allows us to imagine Place de Clairefontaine as a magical blooming meadow.
This is his way of reminding us to respect our environment, in order to avoid the necessity of creating Fake Nature sooner than we think. | | | | | | |

In 2014, Hannes Wanderer wrote about Jens Liebchen's series: "Nature only delivered the material for the trees. Position, growth, size and shape have been defined by people and designed down to the smallest detail."
In his series "Flowers" Masuyama creates images that unite all seasons and thereby overrides the cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter, which has shaped human life for centuries. | | | | | | |

In Artnews, Alex Greenberger sums up Mishka Henner’s work "The scariest thing about Mishka Henner’s 'photographs' is that they are so beautiful". Yvon Lambert’s photographs of "industrial sculptures" portray remnants of Luxembourg’s steel industry... | | | | | | | | | | Yvon Lambert: Belval, Haut-Fourneau, 2006 | | | | | | unsubscribe here
