Photographer Angela Dolgner will lead a special guided tour of her exhibition "Following in the Footsteps of Lyonel Feininger" at the Moritzkirche on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at 4 PM. This impressive showcase represents a photographic tribute to the famous painter and Bauhaus master Lyonel Feininger, while offering a deeply personal approach to his artistic legacy.
Since 2018, Dolgner has been following Feininger's traces, from classical modernism in the Weimar region to the light-flooded landscapes of the Baltic Sea. The result is a fascinating photo series that now comprises nearly 100 works. Dolgner's approach extends far beyond mere documentation, as she creates her own visual language with her camera that not only captures Feininger's style but also develops it further.
The centerpiece of her work features the characteristic crystalline refractions for which Feininger became famous, photographically recreated through multiple exposures, deliberate perspective shifts, and the interplay of light and structure. Through these techniques, Dolgner makes architecture appear to dance, connects fragments to create new spaces, and places familiar motifs in surprising contexts. Her photographs are not simple reproductions but complex visual compositions that unite multiple levels of reality.
The exhibition will remain open at the Moritzkirche until November 1, 2025. The guided tour by the artist herself promises exciting insights into her working methods and Feininger's artistic heritage, making it essential viewing for anyone interested in photography, architecture, and the evolution of classical modernism. This unique presentation demonstrates how contemporary artists can honor historical masters while creating entirely new artistic expressions through innovative photographic techniques.
