... Jürgen Pösse ... 

Jürgen Pösse captures the unseen in his photographs and transforms it into art. His stage is the streets of urban spaces. Art objects that any of us could see, but which we usually don't recognize as art in the moment.

 

A focus of his work is classic street photography, featuring people or scenes in their natural environment or exhibiting natural behavior. But his work doesn't focus solely on people; they could simply be a small part of a larger context. Influenced on the one hand by great photographers like Doisneau and Cartier-Bresson, and on the other hand strongly driven by the atmosphere of classic film noir, a large portion of his work is in black and white or plays with the colors black and white, or indeed "noir et blanc" itself.

 

More recently, projects in which color compositions and/or forms play a central role have been added to his portfolio—urban colors and forms, in other words. Here, muted colors alternate with sometimes garishly exaggerated colors or abstract forms, all found in the urban environment.
