HIROYUKI MASUYAMA
"REFLECTION"
Hiroyuki Masuyama is known in Luxembourg for his William Turner series. His love for nature has inspired him to create a series of lightboxes, which emphasize the merging of temporal and spacial perspectives into a new visual impression, challenging conventional viewing habits. With his series Flowers, he allows us to imagine Place de Clairefontaine as a magical blooming meadow. This is his way of reminding us to respect our environment, in order to avoid the necessity of creating Fake Nature sooner than we think.

MISHKA HENNER
"COUNTERINTELLIGENCE"
The Internet and the geospatial age have changed everything we thought we knew about photography. Where there were once single viewpoints there are now many thousands. In this golden age of perspectives, the infinite array of documents uploaded to the web offers unprecedented opportunities to reveal the workings of our world. With these themes in mind, Mishka Henner will discuss his works on the American landscape, reflecting on the metaphoric significance of its military and industrial logic. The lecture will be followed by a Q&A.

"MAN-MADE LANDSCAPES"
EDWARD BURTYNSKY, MISHKA HENNER & YVON LAMBERT
This group exhibition showcases eerily beautiful photographs by Edward Burtynsky, Mishka Henner and Yvon Lambert, which tell a spooky tale about the exploitation of nature by humankind.
"If we destroy nature, we destroy ourselves!", argues Burtynsky. In Artnews, Alex Greenberger sums up Mishka Henner’s work "The scariest thing about Mishka Henner’s 'photographs' is that they are so beautiful". Yvon Lambert’s photographs of "industrial sculptures" portray remnants of Luxembourg’s steel industry...
