Publisher's Description
Architectural photographer Antje Hanebeck has tackled a big theme: reconstructed
space. And her paradigm-shifting photographs in this stunning, large-format
volume are a far cry from a literal documentation of the buildings she shoots.
Instead, they are a complicated and beautiful interpretation of space, raising at
least as many questions as they answer. Here are Hanebeck’s evocative, black and
white photos of a number of Germany’s most talked-about buildings – Daniel
Libeskind’s Jewish Museum and Frank Gehry’s DZ Bank in Berlin, Zaha Hadid’s
Phaeno Science Center in Wolfsburg, among them. The photographer produces
coarse, calotype-style prints that disorient the viewer, creating an oscillation
between positive and negative.
