“Through my artistic work I want to tell something concerning the world in which we live, and tell something about the people and their surroundings.
Therefore, I am always interested in the places, where life happens, whether it be in the dodgy areas of the Alexander Platz in Berlin, in the streets of norm in Hannover, in the ambiguity of former German-German border towns or on the eastern periphery of Rome.
I try to understand the subjects better by creating multi-layered works, often with portraits, situational photographs, found photographic material and texts.
Based on recent works Wüstungen and Are You Happy I will narrate the very different approaches that different places and themes require.”
The lecture will be held in German.
Göran Gnaudschun, born 1971 in Potsdam, where he also currently lives, studied photographic art and visual arts at the Hochschule für Grafik and Buchkunst, Leipzig with Timm Rautert. 2016/2017 he was given a residency at the German Academy Villa Massimo in Rome, Italy.
In 2018 he was awarded the Brandenburgische Kunstpreis. His books Alexanderplatz (2014) and Wüstungen (2017, in cooperation with Anne Heinlein) were received with great acclaim.
Recent exhibitions include 2018 Triennale Ray Fotografieprojekte Frankfurt/RheinMain; Fotohof, Salzburg; Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Siegen; Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin and in the Gallery of Villa Massimo, Rome.
