Projects

After 4 volumes of his "Wanderungen durch die Mark Brandenburg" had already been published, Theodor Fontane (at an advanced age) tackled a project that has remained unfinished, a book about the Bredow estates in Havelland.
For this project Fontane traveled to Landin in 1889. He visited Max von Bredow and his wife Eugenie, and from the 27^th of May 1889 stayed there for 6 days. Starting from Landin he visited other Bredow estates in the area for research: in that week he went to Kriele, Senzke, Liepe, Wagenitz, Görne, Kleeßen and Friesack. However, in 1891 (7 years before his death) Fontane gave up his plan and no longer pursued the idea of ​​the book about the Bredow estates.

Today I live in an outbuilding of the former Bredow estate in Landin (the only surviving building of the estate) and now I walk on Fontanes traces from Landin to the places where Fontane did the research for his planned work. As part of the 12^th Havelland Artist Symposium "Fontane 200" I almost carry on this work, so to speak, with my own means. That is, I collect impressions from these villages in the form of photographs, which I then edit and merge into my pictures. Thus, pictures from these places are created gradually. Beginning with Landin, the starting point of both of our works, there will be pictures from Kriele and other places.
The first works of this cycle will be on display in the exhibition for the 12^th Havelland Artist Symposium at the gallery KunstPunkt of Landhaus Ribbeck.

Exhibition: 23/03/2019 - 31/12/2019.

When I first met Martin Kerres, the owner of the Valdonica winery, many years ago, he was just starting Valdonica. Over the years I kept coming back to Valdonica.

In 2017 the idea was born that I make images for some soon to be constructed buildings on the winery that would have a direct connection to or originate from Valdonica. I decided to create these new Kunfando images by combining photographs taken in Valdonica with photographs from other parts of the world. The resulting pictures are therefore also based on photographs from e.g. Warsaw, Rome, Lapland, Germany, India and Portugal, which now form a special link with the Valdonica photographs.

Purchase

 
Prices for the pictures depend on the type of printing, size and limitation.
I usually print my pictures on canvas (matte), mounted on a stretcher frame. But e.g. photo prints mounted on aluminum Dibond plates or prints on Hahnemühle fine-art paper are also available. If you are interested please contact me!
Most of the pictures currently available are limited to 36 copies. (Unique items on request.)

The images can also be ordered in various sizes (while respecting the relevant aspect ratio).
Details and binding price offers on request.
