ABOUT
Bastian Gehbauer’s work is a continued meditation on the poetics of entropy and the allegories of loss.*
A sensitive observation of buildings, architecture, spaces and things. He focuses on the emotional quality of these places or objects, their historical components and the processes of change to which they are subjected. Photography serves him as the primary medium of his artistic
expression, complemented by installation.
His work moves between the production of his own photographs and the use of archival material. Bastian studied at at Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie in Berlin and the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart (ABK) with Ricarda Roggan. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Leipzig (HGB), where he studied photography in the class of Heidi Specker.
His works were shown in solo and group shows at Kunsthalle Darmstadt, HOTO Gallery, Stroboskop Art Space Warsaw, Berghain Berlin, Die Möglichkeit einer Insel Berlin, Folkwang Museum Essen, Photobastei Zürich, SAP Kunsthalle Walldorf etc.
