Florian de Brün photographs the world's largest collection on the Bauhaus. For the first time, the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung is showing a selection of his new photographs, offering a look behind the scenes at the different holdings and at the work of a collection photographer.
Please note that on Thursday, 12 November, all day, and on Saturday, 14 November, from 14:00, visitors may experience restrictions to visiting the exhibition due to events.
All attention is focused on the objects themselves: they stand against neutral backgrounds, bathed in even light, photographed from different perspectives. Precisely through this staged naturalness, the wilfulness of the objects emerges – their elegance, their function, but also their imperfections. Whether vacuum cleaner, sculpture or sofa: the individuality of the everyday objects, furniture, toys and artworks becomes visible, with all their traces of life and use. The exhibition in the Temporary Bauhaus-Archiv shows selected photographs by Florian de Brün from the future Digital Collection. They show the objects in original size and are arranged in groups.
