Objects in the Mirror

Objects in the Mirror' brings together Alwin Lay's photographs and Markus Saile's paintings in an exciting dialogue. Their works share a fragile temporality in which events seem frozen - as if we are looking at a fleeting moment that has just passed and at the same time still echoes. The title 'Objects in the Mirror' refers to the phrase 'Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear', a warning found on American rear-view mirrors. At first glance, the works of Alwin Lay and Markus Saile appear distant due to their different media (photography and painting), but on closer examination they deal with correlated themes.
