Henrik Spohler: Global Soul

The soul, the very essence of identity is placeless. With the colour photographs in “Global Soul” Henrik Spohler advances into the interior of modern industrial production. His meticulous documentary photographs create an image of a single imaginary mega-factory condensed from a multitude of different production sites. No-place, no-one, nowhere. In Spohler's compositions, industrial plants and installations become intriguingly abstract, taking on a complexity that is difficult to interpret and that points far beyond the pictorial level alone.
