JOACHIM BROHM

Works of Modernism are constantly being interpreted, reinterpreted, indeed collected and stored away. Modernist architecture is being renovated, redesigned, torn down, reconstructed. Original functions and purposes are thus being altered, occasionally forgotten, but sometimes even optimised and reinvented. New meanings and perceptions for these-often iconic-objects and buildings, on their passage from the 20^th into the 21^st century, arise through these processes.

Brohm confronts the enduring enigma of Modernism conceptually with his generation’s means–whereby his work with the camera is being prompted and supported by Bauhaus architecture and photography as its historical components. Groundbreaking innovations for the development of photography at the time and today become the transparency for his contemporary examination of the medium.
