At the centre of the exhibition sehen are the abstract, pictorial works of Nina Kirste. The presentation is complemented by a series of small-format photographs that depict larger contexts.
What Nina Kirste means by seeing is experiencing and discovering in a phenomenological and aesthetic sense. What she therefore sees, captures photographically and thus makes visible, are not surfaces, objects and places, but that of which they are only the carriers in the interplay of light and shadow: Appearances, i.e. phenomena - combined with the impressions, feelings and thoughts that they evoke in her. Accordingly, her photographic works appear non-literal or show forms, colours, structures and atmospheres emanating from the object.
The cutout-like images oppose the photographed object, giving their components a value of their own. The works on display tell us a lot about the photographer's way of seeing, where the interplay of clear graphic elements and atmospheric density creates a sensual attraction.
