METROpolis
Götz Diergarten
11 11 - 15 12 2010

Götz Diergarten (born in Mannheim in 1972) examines the visual aspects of every day, functional architecture in his typological series. His photographs of German building facades, changing cabins on French beaches, vacation homes, and British seaside resort architecture consolidate the documentary style of his teacher, Bernd Becher and expand upon Becher’s austere concept by adding color. Prinz Prager Gallery debuts Diergarten’s METROpolis, a comprehensive new project that discovers the visual plethora of European subway stations.

In METROpolis, Götz Diergarten enters new photographic territory. Whereas his earlier work concentrated exclusively on single outdoor objects, his new venture examines specific interiors in public space: the passageway, tunnels, and station platforms of underground mass transit. Diergarten’s comprehensively designed study of the architectural underground also encompasses the myth of the modern metropolis. Whether looking at the metro, the U-Bahn, or the tube, his project agenda will take him to over 20 geographical European capitals.

Exhibition is organized in cooperation with Galerie Kicken from Berlin.
