HULSBOMER, FRANK
The Fiction of Science is a collection of work by the Berlin-based photographer
Frank Hulsbomer, whose dynamic depictions of immobile objects exist at the intersection of aesthetic abstraction and conceptual content. Whether sketchily visualized thoughts or meticulously staged motifs, the featured series evolves from the interplay of installations, colors, clusters, and geometrical compositions
and often resemble computer renderings. Frank Hulsbomer, who has made a name for himself with contributions to magazines such as Wallpaper and has exhibited internationally since the mid-1990s,
examines light, anatomical refractions and the construction of space and surface. Reminiscent of the Russian constructivism of the 1920s and the abstract photography of Moholy-Nagy, his photographs indicate the recent rediscovery of abstraction and geometrical work in contemporary art.
The accompanying texts in the book illuminate the theoretical background
and artistic approach of a photographic aesthetic that, despite its minimalistic
strength and quasi-scientific precision, shines with exceptional depth and creates an outstanding poetic visuality.
