Andreas Mühe stages images. The young artist’s work is permeated by themes such as power, ideology, the past and vanity. Due to his own unique way of staging models, Mühe has already gained fame as a magazine photographer. Expertly positioned in their respective poses, they come to form as a part of the staged image, a part of the pictorial whole. 

Gerhard Richter walks up and down in front of his own paintings, Paul Maenz poses alongside nude sculptures in porcelain white, and Friede Springer turns away, and together with her guests, looks reverently out of the window. This pose – the subject turning away from the camera – is one that is repeated throughout the artist’s oeuvre. This exhibition focuses in particular on the Obersalzberg series, which the artist has been working on since 2010.
