Microphotography
Beauty beyond the Visible World
The exhibition offers a comprehensive overview over a genre of photography oscillating like none other between the sciences and the arts. Inspired by the biologist Ernst Haeckel and his epochal work Artforms of Nature (Kunstformen der Natur, 1899-1904), the microscopic image became the most important medium of an aesthetic movement supported by the natural sciences, which powerfully brought to attention the exemplary function nature had for art in particular in the German-speaking countries. The exhibition centres around works in which a new, experimental visual aesthetics develops from the world of shapes of the microcosm. Likewise, the focus is directed at photographs made for purely natural scientific purposes and all the same captivating the eye by their high artistic quality – many of these pictures were created long before the photographic avant-garde discovered microphotography as an experimental field. Thus, the exhibition‘s panoramic range spans from one of the earliest microphotographs ever – Andreas Ritter von Ettingshausen‘s daguerreotype from 1840 with the cross-section through the stem of a clematis –, over Robert Koch‘s pictures of bacteria, Johann Diedrich Möller‘s diatom specimen samples and studies by Alfred Ehrhardt or Carl Strüwe, to the scanning electron microscopy photographs by the Becher student Claudia Fährenkemper and the atomic force microscopy images by Hans-Ulrich Danzebrink.
