The images show plants, blossoms, tools and the everyday life of garden production. Their sober visual language clearly allude to Renger-Patzsch and Karl Blossfeldt, who at... - Exposition
Erik Niedling - Works from the series FORST, ARCHIV and STATUS
History is not yet a story, a narrative is not yet a legend, an image is not yet a picture. Erik Niedling (1973) seeks connections and finds perspectives.
Neither the event, nor that which is seen is the deciding factor, the decisive moment is the viewing of it. Whether Erik or someone else produces the raw material, becomes meaningless. There is more to seeing than just having eyes. A viewpoint....
