Roland Fischer "New Work"
Von Lintel Gallery
This event has ended.
Von Lintel Gallery presents an exhibition of new photographs by German photographer Roland Fischer. The exhibition features Fischer's newest large-scale photographs of modern building facades from locales around the world including Munich, Melbourne and Mexico City.
As Lyle Rexer writes in his 2009 book The Edge of Vision: The Rise of Abstraction in Photography:
Like that of his contemporaries Candida Höfer and Andreas Gursky, a significant portion of Roland Fischer's work is focused on built environment. He carefully frames details of highly schematic building facades in such a way that they are read as patterned two-dimensional surfaces with only telltale hints of their physical origin. This schematizing emphasizes the relentlessly geometric, repetitive and regular character of the social and political worlds these buildings embody.
