Axel Funke (born 1956 in Bochum) deals with diverse perspectives of the relationships between physical bodies and converts them into art by the means of staged photography.  The exhibition includes landscapes, night pictures, and sculptural works.  His photography work takes the form of classic black and white photographs on Baryta, enhanced color printed photography, screen-printed photography, and painted metal.  Axel Funke lives and works in Aerdenhout in the Netherlands.

Accompanying program: lecture by Ferdinand Brueggemann, Bonn, "Tendencies of Contemporary German Photography".

An exhibition catalog has been published in German and English. 

The exhibition was sponsored by the city of Neuenhaus, the state of Niedersachsen and through private funds.
