Widmer+Theodoridis contemporary Weggengasse 3 8001 Zurich Suisse
SCANDERBEG SAUER will present photographs from their DECOMMISSIONED series taken at the Mojave Air and Space Port in the Californian desert. The exhibition at WIDMER+THEODORIDIS contemporary in Zurich will coincide with the book launch.
DECOMMISSIONED gives a close-up look at what once stood for dynamism, elegance, beauty and speed but now lays askew, jacked up and split open in hot desert sand. What we see are the staple favourites: a Jumbo Jet, a DC-10, a Convair – all somewhat worse for wear, but perfectly recognisable. SCANDERBEG SAUER conjure up the resplendent past of these lifeless bodies in their aesthetically flawless images.
Andreana Scanderbeg (*1969 in Los Angeles) and Alexander Sauer (*1971 in Frankfurt am Main) both live in Zurich and have worked together as SCANDERBEG SAUER since 2005. They are primarily active in the field of corporate, people and industrial photography. Both are executive committee members of the Swiss professional photographers and photo designers association SBF and members of the association of creative photographers vfg.
