"The Pavilion" of the series "The World at 90 degrees" Inkjet-Print, CrystalBond, 100x100 cm, 2011 Ivaylo Stoyanov

Ivaylo Stoyanov and Dirk Brömmel study photography at the Academy of Fine Arts at Mainz Johannes Gutenberg University. What brings them together is not just the common field of education but also their long-standing friendship. The exhibit reveals the various approaches of the photographers to the application of conceptual photography. For Ivaylo Stoyanov, the central subject-matter of his works is nature which he transforms into surrealistic landscapes of expressive colors and stark contrast.
