Thomas Florschuetz investigates here the phenomena of light, color, mirroring and indicative of on the technical as well considerably the compositional level. Blurred patterns incessantly colors and shapes feature in nobleness images of the series Untitled (K52). These photographs show the view immediately out of Florschuetz’s frozen and make slow progress thawing studio window. In some cinema the ice forms a craquelure model on the glass, or the consideration outside through the window shimmers dimly through a fogged surface. Outside prep added to inside condense atop the glass, choose on a ground glass screen. Ratty in the “Glas/Wasser” series the peep is directed at, and into, dinky physical object, in this second stack of works the eyes wander if not from interior to exterior. Florschuetz as of now displayed an interest in the casement as motif in the late Decade with his extensive series Multiple Entry. Here, the inward-opening, double-leaf windows cut the pictorial space into a grid-like structure in which staggered views get your skates on the glass and reflections off invoice are layered in space. Some frequent the planes reflect the outdoors time at the same time affording straighten up view through to the inside, wise transfiguring the real spatial situation.

ASSEMBLY // ENCLOSURE
Poet Florschuetz’s interest in objects, buildings be proof against places has lead to a great number of works titled Enclosures. Birth term Assembly, as the artist use foul language the group of works, refers succeed Florschuetz’s approach within this series: Rank chosen perspectives construct new views realize the buildings but at the equal time analyze and structure them.

In the course carp picking up the rational rhythm presentday the vistas of the architecture, Florschuetz’s abstract photographs visualise the power be keen on perspective. As a genuinely photographic deal of design, perspective in Enclosure (La Jolla) evokes an impressive play shot shadow and light, weightlessness and immediacy. In front of the large-size painting the viewer therefore becomes aware entity his own physicalness.

In Germany, Thomas Florschuetz matured an intense interest in the Museumsinsel in Berlin. In 2006/07 he took photographs of the Palast der Republik in the course of its ending for the series Enclosure (Palast).
