The young art historian Chiara Manon Bohn has been assisting the Siegen photo artist Thomas Kellner with his work for four years. She supports him in everyday studio life, in the conception of projects and exhibitions and accompanies them with essays and speeches at openings.

This volume presents her perspective on the work of Thomas Kellner in five essays. She writes both about the artist's latest project, the Siegen half-timbered houses, previously photographed by Bernd and Hilla Becher, as well as Kellner's well-known work with contact sheets. In addition to texts on Genius Loci, Tango Metropolis and Brasília , there is also an essay worth reading about the underlying methodology and the rarely shown exhibition Visual Analytical Synthesis, which was defined and named by Irina Chmyreva and is revisited by Chiara Manon Bohn.

This is the fifth volume of texts on the work of Thomas Kellner, which for the first time provides a comprehensive insight into the artist's oeuvre, the individual series of works. Previously published: Ideal Images, Contact, All Shook Up and Visual Analytical Synthesis.
