The Museo Nacional del Romanticismo presents 'By the Way' by Thomas Nölle, an exhibition exploring 'non-photography' and challenging aesthetic objectivity. Nölle's work focuses on landscapes intervened by humans, viewed through car, train, and plane windows, blending internal and external dialogues.
Thomas Nölle's exhibition 'By the Way' at the Museo Nacional del Romanticismo delves into the concept of 'non-photography,' moving away from the conventional, faithful reproduction of reality. The German photographer, who has resided in Spain since 1988, updates the Romantic theme of landscape, but turns his attention to nature that has been altered by human presence. His work is inspired by observations through car, train, and airplane windows, investigating the dynamic relationship between camera movement and light, resulting in pieces that theorist Norval Baitello described as 'non-photography.' These works foster a dialogue between inner and outer worlds, inviting viewers to project their own perceptions, much like in the Romantic universe. The exhibition showcases a selection of works from the 'By the Way' series, complemented by a presentation of the limited-edition artist's book of the same title. Nölle, an artist since his youth, works across photography, painting, assemblage, installation, and video art, with a career marked by numerous international exhibitions in museums across Europe and the Americas. The exhibition's photographic prints on cotton paper are noted for their tactile qualities and painterly textures, further enhancing the subjective and poetic nature of his artistic practice.
Entry to the temporary exhibition is free. The museum is located at C/ San Mateo, 13 - 28004 Madrid and has specific opening hours from Tuesday to Saturday, and Sundays/holidays.
