‘The Palace’ by Swedish artist Mårten Lange explores architecture as a repository for history, memories, and emotions. Over three years, Lange photographed historical sites across Europe, focusing on basic architectural elements like doors, windows, and stairs. These elements, inspired by the memory palace concept, invite viewers to construct their own labyrinths. The work meditates on the psychological impact of architecture and the enduring presence of the past.

The exhibition combines works from two series by British artist and photographer Simon Roberts: “The Celestials” and “Cloud Negatives”. During the global pandemic and ensuing lockdown, satellite images released by NASA and the European Space Agency showed a dramatic drop in nitrogen dioxide emissions; the skies were clearer and bluer, an the earth was breathing again

Hannah Hughes's work explores the relationship between image, object, and language, focusing on the potential of negative space, and the salvaging and re-use of discarded materials.

The exhibition presents a selection of prints from Italian photographer Matteo Di Giovanni of his three latest photo books which are a “loose trilogy” based on road-trips.

On the occasion of the EMOP in spring 2023, Robert Morat Galerie is very happy to be able to present new, out-of-focus, black&white photographic works by American artist Bill Jacobson. 

The series “Artefakte und Modelle” by Lena Amuat and Zoë Meyer is a collection of objects that embody the human struggle for knowledge. Over twelve years in the making and numbering hundreds of images, the project inventories the models, artifacts, natural specimens and teaching objects that the two women have unearthed traveling to search through the archives and collections of European universities and natural history museums.

The ROBERT MORAT GALLERY is very pleased to exhibit a collection of evocative meditative images that oscillate between light and dark, silence and storm by photographer Michael Lange. Over a period of six years, Michael Lange made extensive trips to various regions of the French Alps (Mercantour, Ecrin, Serre-Chevalier, Valloire, Val Cenis, Vanoise and others) in search of silence and solitude.

ROBERT MORAT GALERIE is very pleased to present an exhibition of images from the three series "Son", "Pia" and "Marion" by photographer Christopher Anderson on the occasion of the Berlin Photo Week and the 75th anniversary of Magnum Photos in Berlin in the fall of 2022.

"Bright Red" brings together new works by Portuguese artist José Pedro Cortes. The title alludes to the visual deficiency that each man has, a mild color blindness that shifts the color red (or what is known as red) to green, changing the reading of the color spectrum. His photographs function as a map of visual possibilities. Cortes says: "My images reflect our time of constant doubt."

Photographing hypermodern urban landscapes through the ghostly haze of LEDs and smog, Mårten Lange’s new work from China shows a country haunted as much by its past as by its future. Made in the six largest cities of the country, the series depicts urban places that have expanded rapidly in recent years and that appear both futuristic and suspended outside of time.

Color, form, light and shadow – the images in Jessica Backhaus’ series “Cut Outs” are created using the basic elements of photography. Cut out transparent papers are arranged on a paper backdrop, exposed to the sun and photographed. The papers react to the intense heat, deform, rise, contract, cast shadows. Jessica Backhaus becomes the documentarist of a visual experiment, a poetic choreography of intense colors in the sunlight.

"Known and Strange Things Pass is about the deep and complex entanglement of technology with contemporary life. It’s about the immediacy of touch and the commonplace miracle of action at a distance; the porosity of the boundaries that hold things apart, and the fragility of the bonds that lock them together.“ (Eugenie Shinkle, 1000 Words Magazine)

For over a hundred years “Erbgericht” is a county inn in rural Saxony, in a village called Polenz. Andrea Grützner, born 1984 in Pirna, grew up nearby and tells of a big old house, “a collage of material built over generations!”. The images, taken in one analog shot and without any digital alteration of the picture, are studies of rooms and objects. Through the use of color flash and the creation of strong shadow lines, these interiors look alienated and transformed.
