STONED book review by Brad Feuerhelm now online on americansuburbx

BR-ED edition of 78 copies, order a copy at artbooksonline, or in Austria at Fotohof

The Bauhaus came to Dessau a hundred years ago. Since then, Walter Gropius’s Bauhaus building, his master houses and the estate in Törten have survived dictatorships and revolutions. In the tumultuous year of 1989/90, Joachim Brohm visited the city and photographed these icons of modernity. Accompanied by Regina Bittner’s texts, the images created reflect a fragile moment between an eventful history and an uncertain future. (Text: Daidalos magazine)

Vor hundert Jahren kam das Bauhaus nach Dessau. Seitdem überstanden Walter Gropius‘ Bauhausgebäude, seine Meisterhäuser und die Siedlung Törten Diktaturen und Revolutionen. Im Umbruchjahr 1989/90 besuchte Joachim Brohm die Stadt und fotografierte die Ikonen der Moderne. Textlich begleitet von Regina Bittner, dokumentieren seine Bilder einen fragilen Moment zwischen bewegter Geschichte und ungewisser Zukunft. (Text: Daidalos Magazin)

Gallery Luisotti is featuring a selection of diptychs and triptychs from my shootings in Tokio/Japan at this year’s Paris Photo! These are vintage and unique c-prints coming directly from my archive, taken during my trips to Japan in the years 2006-07 with a medium-format, analog camera…

I met the architect Günther Domenig by chance on his building site in 1989. Shortly after reading a magazine article about his eccentric building, I spontaneously decided to drop by out of curiosity, without making an appointment. We got talking and he showed me around the concrete sculpture. I started to expose a few color films with my Nikon under his eyes. He made fun of the minimalism of my equipment, but I should send photos... – From then on, I accompanied the stone house for about four years until 1994 as the building-shell progressed. Photos of this work were first published in 1991 in the Japanese magazine AtU ("Architecture and Urbanism", No. 254), and further publications followed. 

During a retrospective research into the photographs taken at the time, l decided in 2023, in collaboration with the Fotohof archive, to re-edit the photographic material. In keeping with the provocative subject matter and its own visual effects, a new selection was scanned from the original negatives and printed in a small edition in black and white on matte paper. In contrast to my long-standing practice of color photography, this resulted in a group of monochrome works, formally characterized by perspective and detail. 

The works will be shown at Fotohof, Salzburg, in October 2024
