As part of the Hamburg Triennial, a solo exhibition of the work of German photographer Henrik Spohler was just closed at the Barlach Halle gallery. While most of the exhibitions at the Triennial take a subjective look at the influence of digital imagery on our perception, the exhibition When Millennium Begins tries to document the profound changes brought by globalization and intense consumership to the aesthetics of the landscapes and the logistics of space.
Born in 1965, Spohler began his career in photography in 1992 after graduating from the Folkwang University of Essen. Since then, his work has received numerous prizes and been the subject of both public and private exhibitions.
