Press Release

German artist Markus Brunetti travels with his partner in work and life Betty Schöner since 2005 permanently across Europe exclusive for the series ‘FACADES’. The upcoming show includes works from France, Spain, Italy, Norway and Albania, showing remarkable differences in terms of architecture, use of materials and ornamentation, despite belonging to the same style period. The hyper-detailed photographic works will challenge the viewer to discover how far the diversity within the same style can reach. This exhibition, called Romanesque FACADES, will consist of fifteen works, of which twelve have not been shown before.

About the Artist

Since 2005, Markus Brunetti and his partner Betty Schöner have been hard at work making photographic works of the façades of holy houses all over Europe. They are on the road for much of the year, travelling by truck with their equipment in a type of mobile lab outfitted with the latest technology. They have no overall system, no fixed agenda. The project proceeds on a case-by-case basis. It has already encompassed architecture from many periods and styles: Moorish, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque. Some are typical examples, some are more singular, and some are hybrids of various influences.
