DESIGN NAME: Asymmetry II
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Fine Art Photography
INSPIRATION: The inspiration for this particular project lies in the architecture of the building itself. With such a popular and often photographed building it can be very challenging to create something which feels new to the eye of the beholder. So I concentrated on the non linear aspects of the building combined with the reflective parts to create this abstract, asymmetric pictures which one, normally, would not associate with architecture.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This series of pictures represent my interpretation of the architecture
of the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany designed by Delugan Meissl Associated Architects.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The transformation and abstraction of a three dimensional building into a two dimensional piece of art. Just lines, angles, reflections.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The pictures were taken in June 2017. The post-processing and the project itself was finished at the end of the same month.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Photography and Photo Manipulation Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: A Nikon D800 full frame SLR was used for taking the original pictures and Adobe Lightroom software was used in the digital postprocessing. Prints are on Hahnemühle Fine Art Paper.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Edition #1: 30cm x 30cm, limited to 20 and Edition #2: 70cm x 70cm, limited to 10 for each picture, framed or mounted on AluDibond behind plexiglas.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: While being on a short trip to Stuttgart, as a photographer interested in architecture, one can hardly bypass the Porsche Museum. So, while walking around this unusual building and studying it, I quickly realized that I wanted to concentrate on the abstract, asymmetric properties of the design, namely the reflective surface of the facade in combination with the white, higkey concrete of the supporting structure to create this abstract interpretation of architecture.
CHALLENGE: The challenge with this particular project was to get a new and fresh spin on a very well known and popular architectural structure while still staying true to its original design.
