In addition, she will present her work Das ganze Wasser (The Whole Water), in which a powerful river is brought to a standstill by photographic means.
The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue with photographs by Grit Schwerdtfeger and an essay by Oliver Vogel (English/German). | | | | | | Grit Schwerdtfeger Mond, 2020 Archival Pigment Print 90 x 60 cm Ed. 6. | | | | "Part of what is conveyed immediately is a kind of modesty, no, tranquility; an awareness of the limited possibilities of all expression, as if the attempt to represent the whole world in an image would result in a shadow-play of what we are capable of. [...] 'Übergang' is all perspectives at once; it is the time we have, no more. It is the one moment, a moment in passing, a moment in transition. 'Übergang' describes one such circle in the most amazing and at the same time circumspect manner, and in doing so presents the art of photography at its full potential." - Oliver Vogel | | | | | | Grit Schwerdtfeger Schulhof, 2020 Archival Pigment Print 80 x 53 cm Ed. 6. | | | | Grit Schwerdtfeger, b. 1971 in Anklam, studied photography at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig under Astrid Klein and Joachim Brohm, graduating as his master student in 2001.
