The photo exhibition by John Wallat in framework Gievenbeck shows how similar humans and have become the city.
Gievenbeck. The images act like empty scenes: A look at the gray and rainy Hamburg North Sea. The focus of a huge container ship - a small town in the sea. In the foreground, a single table. Empty. Seems to be missing a man. But oddly enough, seems to be missing on the pictures, where he is depicted. A sense of this paradox can be from 16 May 2010 win in the District timbered house where the young photographer John Wallat issuing some of his pictures.
Here man appears never to the way one normally sees him, as a social being. Rather, he always appears as part of the urban context - in which he himself almost an architectural element forms. The people are little more than objects, the buildings seem for many human-like. Long can architecture and man no longer clearly separated from each other: Not only do we change the architecture, the architecture also changes us - it creates an architecture of the people.
This is unusual at first glance and can have a vote and a little sadly: "It's an appealing sadness lies in the pictures," the photographer says itself so it is not least a sense of disconnectedness, that the photographs evoke: People are usually alone, it lacks the interaction. However, the integration in a group replaced by the intensification of the connection between man and space.
Born in Münster, Johannes Wallat who completes his studies at the time of the Dutch Studies at the University of Muenster photographed, has long been: "Photography for me a form to make volatile situations permanently visible." On frequent trips to Europe he has repeatedly stumbled over images and situations which appeared to him particularly. It is not least a picture of Europe, which draws John Wallat with his photographs: one of Europe that holds together as a package.
A selection of his images is on Sunday 16 May 2010, to be seen in the local café the timber Gievenbeck.
