The European Master of Fine Art Photography is based on 3 fundamental premises:
- Its international nature, with a special focus on the European context.
- The excellence of its faculty.
- Its orientation towards artistic projects.
The purpose of the program is based on the premise that there is a conceptual European creative identity, which is and must primarily be a reference point in academics, culture and the art market. Its purpose, however, is not closed, but rather encompasses everything European; it is an invitation to diversity ...
The Danube is the European river par excellence. On its way to the “new Europe”, it flows through ten states – Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Moldova, the Ukraine and Romania – and thus more countries and landscapes than any other river on the continent.
Berlin photographer and media artist Andreas Müller-Pohle has pro-duced an extraordinary portrait of this mighty river in his “Danube River Project”. The photographs, taken from both below and above the river‘s surface, provide a “intriguing fresh vision” (Ivaylo Ditchev) of the Danube with its unique urban panoramas and natural phenomena, its bridges, harbors and factories.
Müller-Pohle‘s poetically documentary portrait of the Danube also includes the water as a chem...
Avec l’exposition La Mémoire du futur. Dialogues photographiques entre passé, présent et futur, le Musée de l’Elysée invite la création contemporaine à se pencher sur les fondamentaux du médium photographique, innove en dévoilant une technologie de numérisation 3D développée par Artmyn, une spin-off de l’Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) et donne à voir son patrimoine visuel unique.

Following his portrait of the Danube, a linear exploration of the river from source to mouth, Andreas Müller-Pohle turned his attention to the megacity of Hong Kong, tapping into it at selected points. His approach to the element of water in the series is very sensual - a real, physical plunge - and at the same time analytical, recognizing the source of all life in its changeable ecological system and as nature's unique recycling mechanism.
From ”Cyclograms”, 1994 © Andreas Müller-Pohle
Renewal, recirculation and obliteration - the artist consistently delivers vivid and precise images for this elementary cycle. Whether in his Cyclograms, in which he created photograms from shredded photo studio waste, or in his video Entropia, an equally...
Hong Kong Waters, a photo/video/sound project by German media artist Andreas Müller-Pohle, brings two dimensions of Hong Kong together: its vertical urbanity and its horizontal alignment to the water. It is the first comprehensive portrait of Hong Kong seen from the perspective of the water, with never-before captured views of the many water sites this Asian mega-metropolis has to offer.
The exhibition comprises two media: photography, using a half/half underwater technique already applied in a previous work by the artist, The Danube River Project (2005/2006); and video, displayed in a variety of visual approaches to the water, from “Coasting”, where the recording camera is a plaything of the waves, to “Dark Waves”, an intriguing sight of Victoria Harbour at night. Hong Kong Waters was...
