Yossi Milo Gallery (New York) is pleased to present FACADES, an exhibition of photographic works by German artist Markus Brunetti. This is Brunetti’s first exhibition in the United States.
Markus Brunetti’s FACADES series is the result of his travels through Europe from 2005 to the present day, capturing the façades of historic cathedrals, churches and cloisters in minute detail.
To create a single work, Brunetti exhaustively explores each façade from bottom to top, taking a large number of frames over the course of a few weeks or, if necessary, a few years.Miniscule ornamentations that would otherwise be overlooked or inaccessible, become vividly clear.
He then assembles the individual views into his own hyper-realistic interpretation of the entire façade, stripped of all modern-day elements and suggesting three-dimensional qualities. As a result, FACADES becomes a visual encyclopedia; an in-depth study of the relationships between form, religious function and cultural history.
