This world is a strange place. Christoph Schieder approaches it in his very own way. Sombre and dystopian at first glance, his images unfold a strange poetry of the in-between. The places in his photographs wait silently between demolition and new construction, harvest and sowing, abandonment and revival. In this way, Schieder also understands his pictures as a contemplation of the contradictory feelings that something must change and everything should remain as it is.

Now Schieder is presenting his work “periphic” for the first time in book form.
