"Karen Apollonia Mueller"
2000-06-02 until 2000-07-30
Photographers Gallery
London, , UK United Kingdom

One of the most exciting new photogarphers to emerge in recent years, Mueller brings a European, neo-romantic sensibility to bear on the quintessential 21st city. Where Winogrand's streets are described in combative close-up, viewed from the ground up, Müller's camera floats above the city, looking down from above. Great sweeps of Los Angeles unfold across the surface of her photographs, and then evaporate at the edges into sky or desert or ocean.

In this technopolis people live and work and yet find themselves dwarfed by the elaborate iinfrastructures they have created around themselves. Miniscule figures appear in the distance, often no more than specks on the horizon. A lone man carries his mattress across a vast parking lot; a figure kneels in lonely, desperate prayer in a public park; another lies under a tarpulin, perhaps dead or simply abandoned in the surrounding wasteland. Winogrand's jostling streets, full of nervous energy and human immediacy, are exchanged in Müller's vision for a beautiful, dream-like metropolis, in which people find themselves estranged from each other, and the spaces they inhabit.
