In 2023 we had the pleasure to participate in the second Barnale biannual art gathering with a architecture related work. The biannual show takes place in the Barn of the art space of Los Angeles in Günsterode which was founded and is curated by Jonas von Ostrowski and Konstantin Lannert. In response to II. La Barnale‘s theme „A Back Door“ our contribution was a photographic series of dyptichs shot in collaboration with Emmy Schumacher on a three day discovery–roadtrip, driving from Munich to Günsterode through Bavaria, Thuringia and Hesse using only small roads and consciously avoiding the fast–forward grid of the Autobahn. We encountered surprising, beautiful, dull, poetic, bizarre and melancholic landscapes and built structures in this rather overlooked Hinterland of south–central Germany.

The dyptichs where shown as projections inside the barn during the biennale. In addition to that, a selection of photographs was published by Los Angeles in an edition designed by Jonas von Ostrowski with essays by Maurin Dietrich and Konstantin Lannert.
