Von Ferne

Andreas Trogisch is a classic graphic designer, but has never really appeared as a photographer. It is almost unbelievable that his exquisite photos, which have been taken over the past 30 years, have slumbered in secret for so long.

Now finally parts of the extensive work are published in a series of six consecutive photo folders. All editions are published in a run of 100 numbered and signed copies by “Peperoni Books”. The first portfolio is called “Von Ferne” and presents 30 black and white images, taken between 1982 and 1989 in the GDR and Eastern Europe.

The pictures reflect the pure passion for photography. Lines, shapes and light create multi-layered visual experiences in a very unique visual language - and at the same time leave space for surprising discoveries that often only reveal themselves at second glance. Andreas Trogisch himself is an explorer. He shows us everyday motifs as we have never seen them before. Near and far, vague and concrete, contradicting and balanced - you can look at these images for a long time without ever really penetrating them. They don't reveal their secret that easily.

Signed and numbered.
