"His photographs are not only art, but also souvenirs from a space he has left behind. The technically scientific effort describes a politically interested attitude that simultaneously confronts us with the melting of the no longer so eternal ice and the preciousness of the poetic experience, the temporal contradiction of the aesthetics of disappearance. (...) Jürgen Wassmuth's pictures convey the powerful feeling of a journey to the other side of the world. The photographs, whose radiant power makes looking at them an experience and can be compared to painting or moving film, make it possible to experience great things individually." Eléonore Bak, École des Beaux Arts de Metz
The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated book published by EDITION BILDPERLEN.
