Here is a sneak peak at my upcoming exhibition at Arte Binningen… the 1:20 to-scale model version. Enjoy!

HDR Abandonments on WebUrbanist.com

One of my favorite webzines, WebUrbanist, has featured two of my pictures (with really nice reviews) in a recent post called “24 Beautiful HDR Photos of Abandoned Places“:

"An absolutely beautiful image that borders on surreal depicting an abandoned brewery space in switzerland. Perspective and HDR make this seem more of a rendering than the real photo it is." - WebUrbanist

"Bright HDR colors breathe new life into this deserted industrial equipment located in a brewery in Switzerland. One could almost imagine these things working despite their state of disrepair." - WebUrbanist

Finally, a poster

Fruit of the Gloom Poster

Poster design always gives me headaches because I never know what grid structures to use… but after some tinkering around with a basic concept (and some help from Adobe’s fabulous Kuler color picker website), I came up with an exhibition poster I like. It’s a very clean, Swiss design.

My plan is to have two of those printed on A2 for display at the entrance of my exhibition room at Arte Binningen.

Btw, for the non-German speakers: “Früchte des Zwielichts” means “Fruit of the Twilight”.

UPDATE: changed the font, added a date, replaced the blue line

Exhibition: Arte Binningen 08

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008 | exhibitions | No Comments

Hurray! The organization committee for the annual Arte Binningen has chosen me as the first photographer to show his works at the upcoming Arte 08.  The Arte is an annual local art show featuring 30-40 international artists, typically paintings and sculptures. I have been selected as the feature artist – which means I’m getting my own showroom for a week!

The center of my exhibition will be my Fruit of the Gloom series, which feature oversized fruit in empty halls. Furthermore I will show a cross-section of my interior, exterior and detail photographs. All pictures are available for purchase.

If you are around Basel, please drop by. I will be at the exhibition almost all of the time (during the week after 17h), but I recommend you to contact me just to be sure!
