Berlin - Born and raised in Germany, the Stuttgart based photographer Marcella Müller, works with analog cameras of different formats, primarily focusing on open air landscapes and deserted countryside. None of her work is digitally re-rendered. Marcella Müller often travels across Europe with her large-scale camera (13 x 18 cm) to capture the magic of countless locations., often too isolated to bear a name. She brings us surprising perspectives and odd, unaccustomed cutaways, deserted clippings of a daily-life ambience in hours of cloudy and diffuse weather. “People are always absent in Marcella Muller's photographs. But we see the traces of their action in her illustration. Things which were build for certain objectives, planed, positioned and well designed. The moment we stop using these objects, they seem to exist for themselves. They start to evolve their own un-designed aesthetics in the frame of the arrangement, . The objects become the ornament and structure of the plane the camera captures. A second, secret meaning begins to surface, subliminally and in the perception of the beholder. Precise, high quality documentation is enriched by a higher level of reality allowing itself to be manifested in Marcella’s pictures. That is what makes her work unique." Following the group exhibition Ver-SCHICKUNGEN (Berlin 2004) artMbassy presents Marcella Muller's photography for the first time as a single exhibition in Berlin. Exhibit ends April 29th.
