Future of the Past Revisited
Jedes Foto ca. 90 x 60 cm
Für diese Serie wurden bereits bestehende Fotografien aus meiner Serie Future of the Past mit Begriffen kom-
biniert, die die Utopie der Moderne konterkarieren. Dies als Hinweis darauf, dass architektonische Formen
allein keine Utopie ausmachen, bzw. die Moderne, in der sich die Politik noch um gesellschaftlichen Ausgleich
bemühte, der Vergangenheit angehört.

Future of the Past 2012: Belgrade
Photo series since 1996, on Alu-Dibond, varying size, often 100 x 70 or 70 x 100 cm
The photographic series Future of the past is concerned with utopian-like buildings and ruins from the socialist past in ex-
communist countries. An end-of-time mood hovers over these images, the subjects of which seem to come from science-
fiction films. The photographs depict towers, housing and office blocks and closed down factories, buildings which earlier
seem to have embodied some belief in future prospects, be they social or economic. In their present, derelict state they ap-
pear to embody the utter failure of a social and political utopia.
Future of the Past 1998: Berlin
Photo series since 1997, on Alu-Dibond, varying size, mostly 100 x 70 or 70 x 100 cm

nomic. In their present, derelict state they appear to embody the utter failure of a social and political utopia.
