Cutting, shifting, separating, doubling: Pe Wolf uses these precise and playful interventions to create his photographic works, which are as unusual as they are independent. His artistic practice draws on everyday life and transforms personal moments into universal visual worlds. Since he first provided a comprehensive insight into his photographic work in 2014 with his exhibition "ohne Auftrag", Wolf has consistently developed his visual language. He now returns to the Städtische Galerie with new works, offering a fresh look at his engagement with his living environment, impressions captured on his travels and the poetry of incidental scenes, which he transforms into haunting still lifes.
At the same time, Pe Wolf critically questions the role of photography as a medium, exploring and reflecting on its potential for reproduction and manipulation. The combination of analytical rigor and intuitive vision lends his pictures a strong and unmistakable expressiveness. From 1971 to 2009, as head of the photography workshop at the Kunstakademie Karlsruhe, he influenced generations of artists. The exhibition is accompanied by
