It was Always There, It's Just Grown Stronger

In the 45 years during which Christian Vogt has been a photographer he was able to develop a new pictorial language. In his work it was always present, it's just grown stronger. It consists almost exclusively of juxtaposition of image pairs. His method is to question the relationship between visible reality and its photographic image, between image and text, between seeing and knowing. He deals with the "necessary nonsense", with himself unifying opposites and the actual and perceived paradoxes. A pinhole camera is used as well as digital photography, but Vogt deliberately avoids subsequent processing of the images. 128 illustrations
