Marc Brandenburg (* 1965) strolls through cities photographing his impressions and then
drawing them like a human photocopier. In this almost meditative process he finds beauty in
social conditions. His pencil drawings reversed into negatives capture everyday ephemeral
motifs. Brandenburg is interested in moments when inner and outer states unite when human
beings merge with their costumes their clothing or their dwellings. Formal and conceptual
aspects of drawing as well as a fundamental examination of representation are more important
to him than the motifs themselves. The publication Hirnsturm II accompanies the exhibition of
the same name a visual essay that combines drawings from a period of over 25 years with more
recent works.
