Formen des Mikrokosmos. The photographic work
Before listing the table of contents of the publication "Formen des Mikrokosmos", Carl Struwe (1898-1988) uncovers the secrets behind his photographic work of the years 1926 to 1959. As pioneer of artistic microphotography he wants to explain his process, but at the same time he wants to maintain the magical characteristics of his works. He establishes a photographers' classification, groups together primal forms and symbols as well as a visual collection of the magic of similarities. Carl Struwes works are connected to the "Neue Sachlichkeit", his composed images are a examples of "subjective photography".
