SCREAMING SILENCE III 03

Two Photographs taken in Homs, Syria & Disneyland Paris. Two worlds united in a single piece of work: At the heart of Lohmann‘s oeuvre are his large-format photo collages. The images of destroyed theatres of war would be too explicit and too powerful to leave them unfiltered in their wall-sized dimensions. By alienating them, Lohmann removes some of their overwhelming immediacy and only thereby makes them accessible for closer viewing. „My pictures are scary and at the same time inspire hope. They are a visualisation of the very depth of life. I think that something great happens with one when viewing the works“. - Alexander Maria Lohmann
