Microphotography

Museum fur Fotografie, Berlin

Beauty beyond the Visible World. The exhibition offers a comprehensive overview over a genre of photography oscillating like none other between the sciences and the arts. Inspired by the biologist Ernst Haeckel and his epochal work Artforms of Nature (Kunstformen der Natur, 1899-1904), the microscopic image became the most important medium of an aesthetic movement supported by the natural sciences, which powerfully brought to attention the exemplary function nature had for art in particular in the German-speaking countries. The show centres around works in which a new, experimental visual aesthetics develops from the world of shapes of the microcosm. Opening Thursday 30 September 7pm.
