Andreas Müller-Pohle at Prague City Gallery
The exhibition presents the work of Berlin-based artist Andreas Müller-Pohle as one of the key European figures questioning both the ontological and representational essence of photography since the mid-1970s, and reflecting the radical change of the technical images through the 1990s till today. The ever-recurring questions of the codification and meaning of information and their dialectic opposition to entropy and chance shows Müller-Pohle's mutual influence with Czech-born philosopher and media theorist Vilém Flusser. The exhibition, conceived as 'a select retrospective', will comprise 18 crucial cycles and projects, starting with the influential Constellations and Transformace through the works adressing the transition from analogue to digital codes up to the recent long-term projects depicting our civilization in a global measure.
22. 7. at 6pm: Andreas Müller-Pohle will discuss his work with Siegfried Zieinski and Gottfried Baruch in the auditorium of Goethe Institut
