Hans Georg Esch: Der architektonische Blick epochal – global

Der architektonische Blick · epochal – global is the second comprehensive museum exhibition by architectural photographer Hans Georg Esch. From Pompeii via 'den Dom', from the Chrysler Building in New York to the buildings of Oswald Mathias Ungers and to the airport of Abu Dhabi, which only entered operation in 2025, from Beijing via Shibam, the old town of the metropolis of Yemen, Sanaa, from Hong Kong to Cologne and Neviges in the Bergisches Land … The architectures of the world are Esch's motifs. The exhibition features large-format masterpieces and serially conceived picture sequences that address, across epochs, the global phenomenon of architecture and its contemporary relevance. Buildings, design details, urban architectural spaces and panoramas are transformed through Esch's personal 'architektonischer Blick' into iconic motifs, regardless of their cultural and geographic context.
