His photographs are taken on the road, during fleeting encounters on parking lots, at events, or in supermarkets. For \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eThe German Perspective\u003c\/I\u003e he selected around fifty pictures taken over the course of his travels since 2002. In his serial works, the artist encounters people in the structures in which they live, and instead of singling out big landmarks, he discovers small symbols that capture characteristic atmospheres, because the grand symbols have long lost their meaning in people’s everyday lives. In between, only ostensibly unchanging, is the landscape in a permanent state of reconstruction but still constantly defining the horizon.\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%\"\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003eExhibition schedule: UNESCO-Welterbe Zollverein Schacht XII, Kohlenwäsche \u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans\"\u003e[A14]\u003c\/SPAN\u003e, Portal der Industriekultur, Rundeindicker, Essen,\u0026nbsp;October 3, 2012–January 13, 2013 \u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial\"\u003e| And further venues\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\n\u003cP\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44874917806344,"sku":"9783775734776","price":16.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775734776_aef8d2c3-d484-40dc-bee0-33702daed253.jpg?v=1744122794","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/17238-oliver-kern","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
