The Munich-based architect Nina Kirste deals with photography as art. The focus is on the search for poetry and beauty in the unexpected.

The focus of the exhibition is the abstract, photographic-painterly works of Nina Kirste. The presentation is supplemented by a series of small-format photographs that reflect larger contexts.

What Nina Kirste means by “seeing” is experiencing and discovering in a phenomenological and aesthetic sense. What she sees, captures photographically and thus makes visible are not surfaces, objects and places, but rather what they represent in the play of light and shadow: appearances, i.e. phenomena - connected with impressions, feelings and thoughts that they trigger in her. Accordingly, her photographic works appear non-representational or show shapes, colors, structures and atmospheres that emanate from the subject matter.

The excerpted shots contrast the photographed object, giving its components their own value. The works shown tell a lot about the photographer's way of seeing, where the interplay of clear graphic elements and atmospheric density creates a sensual attraction.
