MATTHIAS BRUGGMANN
November 14 - December 22, 2009 at Galerie Polaris
"My work is an attempt at a repurposing of classical photographic dogma by its intersection with art history and semiotics : the images, which are taken in conflict situations with photojournalistic tools function both as a photographic representation of an event and as a photographic representation of photojournalism.
The final objective is always substantiation of theoretical conjectures, for example, the validity of the decisive instant or whether using codes which challenge the viewer intellectually to generate an emotional reaction is more valid than forcing an emotional link to generate an intellectual reaction." - Matthias Bruggmann from Saatchi Online
