Bernhard Fuchs’ exhibition “AHORN” at the Oldenburger Kunstverein assembles a selection of photographs from the projects “STRASSEN UND WEGE”, “HÖFE” and “WALDUNGEN”, taken from 2004 to 2014 in the artists’ native region in Upper Austria. Bernhard Fuchs studied in Düsseldorf and Leipzig and the center of life has been in Germany since his studies. All of his works, however, are created in the landscape of his origin, where he regularly seeks an inner dialogue with the area on forays and translates it into a pictorial language. These series were each created over a period of 3 to 6 years and each found its conclusion in a book publication.
Ahorn is located in the upper Mühlviertel and is a village scattered over the area with small-structured farms. This place is emblematic for the composition of this exhibition.
