Abstract nominee

The series shows the new Moholy-Nagy Master House in the experimental style of the New Vision, the visual aesthetics of László Moholy-Nagy. Multiple exposures, negative reversal, solarization and photomontages are used to emphasize light nuances and provide a new view at the architecture of the Bauhaus.

Bauhaus master László Moholy-Nagy experimented extensively with the medium of photography and is considered one of the most important theorists of the New Vision. When the Bauhaus moved from Weimar to Dessau in 1926, he moved into one of the master houses designed by Walter Gropius. The house was completely destroyed in the last days of the war in March 1945. From 2011 to 2014, the Moholy-Nagy Master House was rebuilt as part of an urban repair. The architectural firm Bruno Fioretti Marquez (BFM) designed an architecture of imprecision with the aim of abstracting what is remembered. The cubature of the house was reconstructed in exposed concrete. Every window, every door is in exactly the right place. But all those details were left out that would give information about the exact scale. The internal layout was reduced as much as possible, walls and ceilings were left out where they were not needed.

Born in 1970 in Berlin (East). Self-taught, member of the BVBK Brandenburg Association of Visual Artists. Since 2008 long-term conceptual projects in documentary style on the topics of the built environment, urban landscapes and modern urban development.
