Tunichtgut

The work of photographer Frank Darius perfectly captures the play of intimacy and distance in the urban landscape. He discovers moments that carry an unstable emotional charge, expanding a ticking second into the immensity of a lifetime. Colors streak through the twilight, unheard-of things inhabit the silence. The works presented in 'Tunichtgut' map a series of claustrophobically empty sites that relate the beauty of a postlapsarian world, daring us to either to look deeper into it or to revel in its surface. These seemingly self-contained photographs ally with each other to weave a complex and moving narrative of innocence and experience. Darius's work is on some levels reminiscent of photographers like Andreas Gursky, but is distinguished by its elements of storytelling and surprise. An introduction to this up-and-coming artist's unique and revelatory work, 'Tunichtgut' presents 50 stunning images in full color.
