Thomas Kellner

- 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-fa?ades 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.
