Concrete and Abstract photography with architecture The term “Concrete Photography” first appeared in 1967 in an exhibition by Roger Humbert, René Mechler, Jean Frédérick Schnyder and Rolf Schroeter.It resulted from the exhibition “non-objective photography,” in which Roger Humbert and Rolf Schroeter were involved in 1960 in Basel. The Concrete Photography is not the opposite of abstract photography. She puts more emphasis on the interpretation of a photo or on the underlying meaning as desselbigen to the actual figure. A glass of wine, for example, also wisdom, age and alcohol dependence symbolize. If the emphasis is on the meaning and interpretation of the image and less on the photographic representation of the wine glass, then one speaks of Concrete Photography. Although led Alvin Langdon Coburn the concept of abstract photography in 1916 programmatically a (Coburn 1979 Kellein / lamp 2000). Nevertheless remained as Thomas Kellein noted in 2000 in his preface of the eponymous catalog for today as pioneering as solitary exhibition on this subject, abstract photography to the present day, a “sub-division or sub-history of photography”, which continues to be an “art history wallflower leads “. Sometimes Concrete and Abstract photography can be quite close together.In concrete terms, the photographic process Photography and Photography occur as the object itself into the foreground.The mapping of objects or persons, which is essential in the documentary and staged photography, is secondary. The Concrete Photography is so beside the concrete painting, music or poetry, a branch of concrete art.Photographs, which can be referred to as Concrete Photography, since the beginning of the 20th Century known – but the term itself was first used in 1967 and established as a designation of an independent art form.Concrete photographs are “pure” photography. They focus on and realize “self” and find their items exclusively in their own pictures within the legalities You do not want to “make visible”, but only “to be visible”.Its main feature is the self-reference They resort to the innate means of photography, the light, the light-sensitive materials, the generative processes, and the apparatus. It created an independent, non-representational photographs, objects of themselves, photographs of Photography In my building photographs after removal of all superfluous remains the ‘essence’ of architecture, the “core of the concrete. I want to demonstrate that primary visual artistic standing beyond architecture design tool created by the vertical photography, which goes in the direction of architectural concrete. This caused my concrete architectural photographs.
