Jörg Winde's photographs question the meaning of man-made spaces, buildings and landscapes. The photographer finds his motifs in his own living environment as well as in Germany and abroad: private interiors of people from very different backgrounds, industrial plants, landscapes of the Ruhr area, but also places of representative power or buildings of important architects. What these works have in common is the desire to capture the world: inside, outside, in depth - sometimes with a wide view, sometimes focused on the detail. Winde emphasizes the sculptural character of objects in rooms and landscapes in precise, strict pictorial compositions and with the targeted use of light of different qualities. He condenses his works into series that are often created over years, sometimes decades.
The exhibition shows a selection of these series from 40 years of photographic work.
