about

After decades as an international fashion and advertising photographer, Rolf Falkner has embarked on a new path and turned to fine art. In his current work “Brut”, he explores details and fragments, consciously distancing himself from technical constraints and the modernist aesthetics of a world characterized by photographic remnants. This artistic orientation reflects an intensive philosophical examination of perception and our understanding of the world.

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, a fascinating tension is created between the visible and the hidden, encouraging the viewer to delve deeper into the hidden meanings of his works.

This 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 perspective.
