BERLIN, GERMANY.- Jeff Wall: Exposure, a special exhibition commissioned by the Deutsche Guggenheim, presents, for the first time, four new, large-scale, black-and-white photographs by artist Jeff Wall. This remarkable body of new work is shown in conjunction with five earlier pieces‹gelatin-silver prints as well as transparencies mounted in lightboxes‹creating an ensemble that resonates both formally and thematically.
Wall has summarized the formative influences on his work as the history of painting and cinema, and the theoretical arguments that developed around these discourses in the wake of 1968. He first became known for pioneering the artistic presentation of large, color, photographic transparencies in lightboxes, which combined the scale of painting with the luminosity of the cinema screen. Wall¹s engagement with the history of the photographic medium informed his subsequent characterization of his oeuvre according to two modes of production: documentary photographs that record found locations and subjects, and cinematographic photographs that are staged for the camera.
