Press release

Michael Köster's motifs - almost all of which are views of architecture - are effectively staged with precise lighting, sharp contours and the finest nuances of light and dark. The dramaturgy of light and shadow is an essential element in enhancing the mood of the picture. Köster's formal language reveals influences of New Objectivity photography as well as film noir. But associations with painting also come to mind when looking at some of the pictorial settings, whose atmosphere is reminiscent of the enigmatic mood of inanimation and stillness in Pittura Metafisica paintings.

Köster's pictures are not only irritating in that they reveal a different reality in relation to our everyday experience and perception of urbanity. They fascinate, but they also - par excellence - raise questions, for example on topics such as identity and anonymity or urbanity and urban society.
