About this Item

Hardcover. Both pathos and distance play a role in the work of Andreas Muhe. Pathos becomes distance, and this distance becomes a precondition that allows for pathos. Muhe's themes are often ambiguous, already emotional, and charged by their respective historical context: Christmas trees, chancellors, the chalk cliffs on Rugen, the Obersalzberg. The photographs by Andreas Muhe are accompanied by excerpts from the novel 1913 The Year before the Storm, by Florian Illies. A survey of the oeuvre of the German photographer, whose aesthetic perception is influenced by the world of theatre, staging, and transformation.

About the Author

Andreas Mühe (b. 1979, Karl-Marx-Stadt) came to photography through an apprenticeship as a photo laboratory technician, after which he worked as an assistant to Ali Kepenek and Anatol Kotte. Mühe has worked as a freelance photographer and has published his portraits of actors, musicians, and artists in a wide variety of magazines and newspapers. An early supporter is F.C. Gundlach, who describes his work as being “of extraordinary consequence.” Since 2010, Mühe has exhibited his works in solo and group exhibitions at museums including the Kunsthalle Rostock, the NRW Forum in Düsseldorf, the Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin, the Benaki Museum in Athens, and the House of Photography at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg.
