Beate Gütschow

With the aid of computer software, she montages scores of image fragments to create photographs that adhere to the compositional principles of the ideal landscape.

The body of work entitled "S" for Stadt (city) consists of large black-and-white photographs that are also composed of multiple images.

In the series "I" (for Interior), Gütschow undertakes a critical investigation of advertising photography, composing mundane objects such as a car battery, ergonomic chair, and overhead projector into surrealistic scenes in her studio.

In her series „HC“ Gütschow deals with the pictorial representation of gardens in medieval and early Renaissance art.

She uses this historical reference as a tool not only to challenge the viewer's perception but also to negotiate current developments in 3D photography.
