About the Item

A7L APOLLO 15 USA, 1971 160 x 160 cm (63" x 63") Edition size: 12 Light jet, exposure on high glossy paper and aluminum dibond Distance Frame, Tulipwood, Lacquered Matt Black, Black Metal Passepartout, Museum Glass included Lunar Series: The adventures of astronauts and cosmonauts venturing into the unknown and exploring the limits of the human horizon form the starting point for Christian Voigt's new series LUNAR. In his photographs, iconic suits and technical marvels from the USA, Russia and Europe are presented in a previously unseen way of poetic quality. The latin adjective lunar means relating to, emanating from, belonging to the moon and summarizes the pioneering spirit of the series. From the bulky suits of the early years to the sleek and highly technological spacesuits of the present, the images portray the progressing evolution of spaceflight technology. With remarkable attention to detail and precision, Christian Voigt captures the subtleties and sophisticated elements of this high-performance attire. The images underscore how science and technology strive to provide astronauts with ever-advancing and safer equipment for their journeys into space, protecting the human body outside the Earth. By depicting the suits and technologies individually and isolating them from any tangible surroundings, Christian Voigt emphasizes their individuality. The images show the objects against a black background, as if they were situated in the absolute silence of space, conveying both the loneliness and the immense vastness of the cosmos. By reducing the elements to a minimalist environment, Voigt visualizes the unknown and at the same time underlines the fearlessness and pioneering spirit of humans venturing into the dark void. These images deepen our understanding that behind the impressive suits and technical achievements, there are still men with the courage to explore the depths of the universe. The series reminds us that space exploration is not only a scientific endeavor but also a journey rooted in our innermost yearning for knowledge and connection. Christian Voigt's images encourage viewers to look beyond the confines of their own world and recognize humanity's potential to enter new worlds when bravely embarking on the journey into the unknown and reaching for the stars together. Artist Bio: Born in Munich, Germany, Christian Voigt lives and works in Hamburg and The South of France. His current studio is situated in Hamburg. Christian Voigt works with large-format cameras, both digital and analogue. He experiments with new camera techniques and makes the best use of the digital medium. In the museum edition, his large-format pictures can measure as much as eight meters in width. But his strictly limited editions also come in sizes which customers and collectors can hang on walls of more modest sizes. Christian Voigt has developed a language capable of telling new stories. He continually works to refine a pictorial idiom, the stories he wants to tell, the feelings he convey. This is visible in his pictures; Landscape and architecture are his principal areas of interest, but he also does portraits and nudes. The travels associated with his projects and places call for concentration, for the ability to get to grips with people, with their history and their religion. "My pictures are created with the camera, not on the computer," he says, with a reference to the complicated technology and processing that goes into his creations. "But without the computer technology of today, the pictures couldn’t be crafted into their final form." Solo shows and Art Fairs have been staged in Basel, Hamburg, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Saint Tropez, Amsterdam, and Madrid.
