• Catalogue of the artist’s first solo exhibition in Germany • New photographs by the artist • References to German art history
lt;p>For his photographs and films, the Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf creates a world that has been staged down to its smallest detail. It seems very similar to ours, but its artificiality gives it an enigmatic sense. Still, with their visuals borrowed from the film and advertising industries, the works are only flawlessly striking on the surface; in fact, they deal with questions of democracy, equality, or self-determination. Marking Olaf's first comprehensive solo exhibition in Germany, the companion publication deals with essential aspects of Olaf's art and offers an attractive survey of his multifaceted oeuvre from the past forty years. Olaf's most recent works, some of which were created especially for the exhibition at the Kunsthalle Munich, will also be shown.

ERWIN OLAF (*1959) studied journalism. He began his career as a photographer for magazines and journals, often with a socio-political background. In addition to commercial work, he produced a comprehensive body of artistic work from the 1980s onward. With his idiosyncratic style, Olaf quickly attracted international attention. His works are shown in exhibitions worldwide.
Erwin Olaf (* 1959, Niederlande) begann in den 1980er Jahren mit dokumentarischer Fotografie das Nachtleben einzufangen und entwickelte sich weiter zu einem Künstler, der als Regisseur und Fotograf cinematische Fotografien erschafft, die meist durch eine mystische Stimmung geprägt sind. Seine Arbeit ist weltweit anerkannt und vielfach in Ausstellungen präsentiert.
