Loosing One Dimension by Guido Klumpe – Finalist at the Urban Photo Awards 2021

Guido Klumpe's is with his portfolio "Loosing One Dimension" one of the finalists at the Urban Photo Awards 2021 in the category "Projects & Portfolios". In his abstract works, Guido Klumpe explores the fragile moment of transition in which three-dimensional architecture dissolves and abstracts into the two-dimensional. In this way, ordinary parts of the cityscape such as house walls, bollards and petrol stations are transformed into beautiful works of art. Since birth, Guido Klumpe has had a visual impairment; he is blind on the left and has 25% vision on the right. You can imagine his vision like a video with a low data rate: If there is only one object in the sinew field of vision, Guido Klumpe recognises relatively many details; with many objects, everything becomes coarser and more two-dimensional.

„In my current project ‚Loosing one dimension´ I playfully explore the fragile moment of transition where three-dimensional architecture dissolves and abstracts into the two-dimensional. When the viewer loses orientation and can't tell for sure what they see, which parts of the image are in front, and which are behind, they experience a bit of how I sometimes lose my bearings in the world. To achieve this effect, I photographically superimpose different parts of the building.“

„In this series I want to make the barriers between photography and painting permeable. I see my city as an urban landscape. A landscape made up of shapes, colors, reflections and light. I love to dissolve and reassemble these elements, limited only by the laws of optics, the possibilities of the camera and my imagination.“
