A visual journey with optical shallows: from early documentary series and digitally constructed perspectives to metaphorically legible works that illustrate phenomena of modern society, the new publication by photo artist Andreas Gefeller brings together for the first time unpublished photographs from 1996 as well as, key images from his well-known series of works, and also new photography. The retrospective reveals an overview on how Gefeller uses photographic techniques to question human habits of perception with a critical eye on the digitalized world in which boundaries between reality and virtuality, between nature and technology, are becoming increasingly blurred. Andreas Gefeller (*1970 Dusseldorf) studied communication design and photography at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen and graduated Professor Bernhard Prinz class with honors in 2000. His award-winning photographic works are part of numerous collections and are exhibited internationally. Gefeller lives and works in Düsseldorf.
