11.3.-15.4.2023

Dirk Braeckman

The exhibition is being held at two locations — on Mulackstraße 14 (Thu-Sat, 12–6 pm) and on Potsdamer Straße 98 (Wed-Sat, 12–6 pm).

Dirk Braeckman’s fourth exhibition at Galerie Thomas Fischer explores three typologies: landscape, bodies, and indoor spaces. Using his rich palette of dark, dense monochromes, which have become so synonymous with Braeckman’s photographs, the artist’s matte surfaces offset the play of light and shadow, with each frame enigmatically speaking to the sensuality of memories unspoken. Bringing together new works with older images produced over the past decade, Braeckman delves into his archive of negatives to show both large-scale and medium-format works, all of which leave ghostly imprints that transform the seemingly insignificant minutiae of life into haunting presences.

The exhibition is part of EMOP – European Month of Photography and is a collaboration with Andreas Murkudis.
