AXEL HÜTTE – SHADOWS OF LIGHT

Posted on 2015-05-25

This show consists of several series of architectural landscape photographs. There are large format shots from 1985, accompanied by more recent work depicting interiors and exteriors of Venetian architecture. Together with the images of Venice, other photographs of places in Japan and Malaysia are included, presenting nocturnal views of several cities. The exhibition Shadows of Light continues the line that has defined Hütte’s work throughout his career, with photographs characterised by their realism, distance and objectivity. His work reflects the strictness of the Düsseldorf School.

The novel element here is the presentation of his first audiovisual piece, Attonitus: a journey through the starry night of parallel universes, which captures falling meteorites and dying comets.

Opposite – Cape Coast Cosmos, 2014

Exhibition runs through to June 30th, 2015
