Georg Parthen

“Ever since I studied documentary photography in Essen I ponder about about the concepts of visual documentation. Is there something like a photographic representation of reality? How does the shape of things and the appearance of reality reflect people´s attitude towards it? What is a documentation of a place that does not exist? The works in my "landscape" series are all digitally altered and / or constructed from several photographic images yet appear authentic at the same time.” - George Parthen
