Seit zehn Jahren spürt Mathias Bertram in Berlin und auf Reisen surreal anmutende Bilder und Strukturen am Straßenrand auf und hält sie auf seinen mitunter rätselhaften Fotografien fest. Auf verwitterten Hauswänden entdeckt er romantische Landschaften, in abgenutzten Straßenmarkierungen merkwürdige Fabelwesen, auf Baucontainern Karten unbekannter Kontinente oder in zerborstenen Treppenstufen virtuose Tänzer. Auf den ersten Blick könnte man die Fotografien für Grafiken oder Gemälde halten, doch geschaffen hat all diese Motive und Gebilde allein die Zeit, die an den Dingen nagt. Wasser, Wind und Luft lassen sie altern, Korrosionen und Kollisionen zerstören sie. Doch während sich die Dinge auflösen, entsteht mitunter etwas Neues, das dem Prozess des Alterns Würde verschaffen und Schönheit verleihen kann – ein „Werden im Vergehen“. Bertrams Fotografien lösen die trivialen Gegenstände aus ihrem natürlichen Kontext und fordern so dazu auf, sie ästhetisch wahrzunehmen. Eine Schule des Sehens, die den Blick für die Sensationen des Alltags schärft.

Hardback. Etat : New. For 10 years, Mathias Bertram has sought out surreal looking images and structures by the side of the road in Berlin and on his travels, capturing them in at-times puzzling photographs. He finds romantic landscapes in worn building facades, strange mythical creatures in faded street markings, maps of unknown continents on construction site containers, or virtuoso dancers in shattered steps. At first glance, his photographs could be mistaken for illustrations or paintings, but these motifs and shapes were created by time alone, gradually wearing away at things. Moisture, wind, and air cause them to age, while corrosion and collision slowly destroy them. However, as these things fall apart, something new is created that can lend dignity and beauty to the process of ageing-a "becoming through decaying". Bertram's photographs extract these trivial everyday items from their natural context, encouraging us to see them from an aesthetic perspective; a school of seeing that sharpens the gaze for the sensations of everyday life.
