- A beautiful new book by Thomas Kellner - Previously unseen portraits
of half-timbered houses in Germany Just by the fact -created by Hilla
and Bernd Becher- that reality is allowed into art again in the form of
a documentary image, (...), magical realism was created." With his
pictures of the half-timbered houses of the Siegen industrial area,
Thomas Kellner has reminded us of the beauty of the everyday that
surrounds us and yet so often goes unnoticed. Based on the typology of
the Bechers, Thomas Kellner presents here his 2021 pictures of the
half-timbered houses, which inspire with their color refraction and
artistic blurring of the background. These houses, which have become
commonplace in the region, reveal themselves here as real works of art
with their detailed slate-façades and well-kept exteriors. The Siegen
based photo artist Thomas Kellner shows us here through the lens of his
camera a part of the history of his region. He has worked on
architecture before, and so has already swept away countless people
internationally. Text in English and German.
