Gosbert Gottmann Modern Sufferings
Gottmanns urban photography shows architecture and human beings, both mysterily blurred and strangely disconnected from one another. He creates photographic metaphors that evoke a general, self-inflicted anguish inherent in modern western society: Facades rise impressively into the sky, leading the eye into deep skyscraper canyons, while silhouettes of the human figure seem fragile and helpless. The question arises, whether society is still in command of its self-established, modern values, or if its suffering from them.
