Ulrich Egger's Photographic Deconstruction of Architecture at Galleria Il Ponte
Ulrich Egger (born 1959 in San Valentino alla Muta) presents 'La solitudine dell’architettura' at Galleria Il Ponte in Florence, running until July 31, 2026. The exhibition features photographs where architectural structures, objects, and natural elements are flattened onto a single plane, deconstructing volumes, perspectives, and textures. Industrial and urban landscapes, abandoned interiors and facades dominate, evoking the transience of the built environment. Egger combines glass, steel, and wood to create layered, superimposed scenes that challenge linear narratives, producing visionary and dramatic scenarios reminiscent of Alessandro Magnasco's natural landscapes. The work reflects on the hidden human presence and critiques contemporary mass industrial society.
