Axel Hütte : Theorea

The companion to the Hütte's first major retrospective, Theorea is a comprehensive presentation of his unique large-format color landscapes. Along with Andreas Gursky and Thomas Struth, he is one of the most celebrated students of Bernd and Hilla Becher to have graduated from the Dusseldorf school. His images, often presented as diptychs, push the boundaries of straight photography. With disorienting large skies and a strange sense of scale they are nevertheless very straight forward photographs of mountain tops, parking garages, and snowy roads.
