Hans-Christian Schink
Neues Museum Weimar, Weimar
Photography 1980 - 2010. From the very start of his artistic activity, Schink has worked on strictly defined series in regard to content that developed over a long period of time. The exhibition focuses on four thematic and aesthetic emphases of his photographic oeuvre. It presents portrayals of walls and empty interiors that negate central and interpretative perspectives, taking their place in the ranks of colour field painting.

Hans-Christian Schink became nationally famous with his impressive monumental photographs from the series "Verkehrsprojekte Deutsche Einheit" ("Traffic Projects German Unification"), of which a comprehensive selection is presented in the exhibition. In addition, the exhibition includes selected pictures of landscapes outside of Europe that Schink photographed during his numerous journeys.
These included Los Angeles in 2002/03, Peru and Vietnam in 2004/05, Japan in 2009 and regions such as the Antarctic last year. The exhibition also offers a brief view of the extraordinary project »1 h« in which Schink used the photographic technique of solarisation to follow the sun‘s path from 2005 until 2010 during one hour from the most diverse locations in the world.
A joint project between Klassik Stiftung Weimar, Neues Museum Weimar, and MKM Museum Küppersmühle für Moderne Kunst, Duisburg.
