Kai-Olaf Hesse: “Dresden suite”
Dresden Technical Collections
The Waldschlösschen Bridge is there, the World Heritage designation is gone. Nevertheless, tourists circulate amidst the Frauenkirche, Semper Opera and Zwinger and snap thousands of photos of Dresden’s attractions. Kai-Olaf Hesse sought other motifs. In 2012, on a fellowship, the photographer wandered about the hidden and quiet corners of the Saxon capital. And yet, or perhaps precisely for this reason, his photographs of “art on buildings” projects in all weathers, façades of housing complexes and freighters on the River Elbe by twilight convey a very precise picture of the Dresden. They can be seen until mid-January 2014 at the Dresden Technical Collections of Dresden.
