Kunsthalle Leipzig
12 September – 30 November
Luise Frey: Rooms of Silence
Twenty-eight large-format photographs of rooms just after the people have gone.
Rooms After Everyone Has Left
Luise Frey photographs rooms after everyone has left them: a school gym on the first morning of the holidays, a ferry terminal at four in the morning, the back office of a shop that closed last spring.
The twenty-eight prints in this exhibition were made over six winters in northern Germany and on the Faroe Islands. Frey works with a large-format camera and available light, which means exposures long enough for the dust to settle inside the frame.
I wait until the dust has settled inside the frame.
Rooms of Silence is her first solo exhibition in Leipzig. A conversation with the artist takes place on 14 November at 7 pm, admission free.
