Petra Wunderlich

[1][2][3] Wunderlich studied at first painting at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris, from 1975 to 1985.

These quarries rock layers reflect the history of art and architecture, because great masters such as Michelangelo have worked with marble from Carrara, simimarly to many architects and builders since the Roman Empire days.

In her early works, Wunderlich photographed the churches as seen from the front and with a strong cropping, never depicting the whole building.

She shows how the different ethnic groups that live there inscribe their own religion and aesthetics into the cityscape, by designing the facades with religious references.

[6] Wunderlich also created a photographic series of synagogues in New York, from 1995 to 2015, first shown with the title Common Ground at the Bernhard Knaus Fine Art Gallery in Frankfurt, in 2013–2014.
