#6: Sebastian Bühler + Jürgen Branz
10.12.23–28.01.24
We cordially invite you and your friends to the opening of the project GROUNDFLOOR PLAYGROUND #6 on Saturday, Dezember 9, 2023, at 6:00 pm. As an introduction Christian Thöner talks to Sebastian Bühler and Jürgen Branz about their work.
The aesthetics of the works presented by
Sebastian Bühler (*1984) as part of the sixth installment of the GROUNDFLOOR
PLAYGROUND exhibition series on the first floor of the Kunstverein Augsburg are
overwhelming. The contrasts of the often bright colors are captivating. It is
almost impossible to resist the charm of the delicately elaborated structures.
You lose yourself in them - until you almost feel sick. For what Bühler entices
us with are only at second glance radiant abstractions of a bitter reality. They
are illusory images that attract us only to leave us shattered by what we have
ultimately created ourselves: the massive destruction of our environment, the
garbage left behind and the toxic by-products of the economy and energy
production that seep into the earth, water and air.
Sebastian Bühler deliberately and purposefully balances on the borderline between art and documentary photography. And he usually crosses territorial boundaries in the process: For GROUNDFLOOR PLAYGROUND #6, he takes us on a journey to Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia.

The photographer has chosen sound artist
Jürgen Branz (*1985) as his artistic travel companion. Using sound recorded at
the locations where the images were taken, Branz transfers the situation found
by Bühler into the rooms of the Kunstverein. As sound installations, his
compositions congenially embed Bühler's large-format drone photographs and
video works in a corresponding world of sound.
Can the exhibition created by the two artists also sharpen the focus on the radical influence that we humans and our industry have on the destruction of the environment and the living and working space of those who are often as helpless as they are destitute? It would be desirable for all of us.
