In their works, Katja Stuke and Oliver Sieber address questions
about the structure of cities and the links between urban and
social boundaries. Their photographs reveal a particular interest
in areas and neighbourhoods that are marginalised or carry a
certain stigma in the eyes of society. Instead of focusing on
individual images, Stuke and Sieber prefer to create series and
sequences, layering, mixing, and connecting elements to create
wide-ranging associations. Their most recent work links the French
capital with the Ruhr and its imagined centre, the Zollverein Coal
Mine Industrial Complex, which is often referred to as the 'Eiffel
Tower of the Ruhr.' However, neither the Eiffel Tower nor the
Zollverein complex feature in the photos. Rather, Stuke and
Sieber’s experimental work juxtaposes snapshots taken along the
périphérique ring road in Paris and photos of places associated
with the Ruhr. The locations are seemingly chosen at random in this
system, but it is precisely their haphazard, fragmentary
arrangement that highlights unexpected parallels and ingenious
connections between places, actions, events, and individuals that
are separated from each other in space and time. Text in English
and German.
