Rolf Falkner
– after decades as a successful fashion and advertising photographer, has undergone a profound change in his career and dedicated himself to fine art. His current artistic work focuses on the exploration of details and close ups, largely detaching himself from the technology and modernist aesthetics of a world littered with photographic relics. This approach reflects a profound philosophical examination of the perception of the world and the way we understand it.
Falkner invites the viewer to look at the world from a new perspective, where proximity and details take center stage. The smallest elements, which often go unnoticed, reveal an abstract beauty that draws the eye to what is hidden. By focusing on specific details, Falkner creates a fascinating tension between the visible and the hidden, encouraging the viewer to delve deeper into the hidden meanings of his works.
This artistic approach encourages us to go beyond the obvious and grasp the invisible connections that form the overall picture. Falkner’s works blur the boundaries between reality and abstraction, encouraging reflection on the complexity and beauty of the world. His works offer the viewer the opportunity to discover and interpret the world from a new, deeper and much closer perspective.
