And another exhibition – photos, of course – that sounds interesting. Actually it is 2 exhibits by the same photographer, Birgit Neiser, though on either “side” of the globe – one in Germany, the other one in Sydney.

20. Juni – 15. September 2009

German photographer Birgit Neiser offers new perspectives on various SPACES in urban and industrial environments.  Thus she is providing room to different spaces: Using multiple exposures and specific light conditions, she later overlays several takes, editing the image digitally to improve all parts of it. The resulting images glow in full depth. The viewer experiences an unfamiliar perception of spaces he/she would usually not deign to look at.

In Sydney, Neiser presents another series, not actually thematizing architecture, but another particular space:
