Signed; Wolfgang Zurborn; Peter V. Brinkemper - Drift - 2007

This is a rare signed hardback photo book titled Drift from German photographer Wolfgang Zurborn published by Kehrer, Heidelberg. The publication features over 55 colour illustrations showing Zurborn's unique way of seeing and navigating the fractured modern world in its overlapping images and contexts. In Drift, he is interested in finding the sublime in the ridiculous condition of modern life with a Dadaist awareness of the found object. With a surrealist sense of humour, Zurborn creates a fascinating collision montage of juxtaposed, multi-layered images combined on a single picture plane. Disconnected from the purely functional sense of our every-day life, the presented surroundings appear in a much more sensual way. This copy is in excellent condition.

Zurborn has had numerous solo shows of his work in many European countries and in the United States of America. Haus der Photographie, Deichtorhallen Hamburg, presented an overview on the work of Wolfgang Zurborn with his early b&w-photographs from the 80s and the series “Drift” and “China! Which China?” in 2009.

Zurborn has participated in important group shows including the exhibition of 20th century German photography curated by Klaus Honnef and Gabriele Honnef-Harling “Von Körpern und anderen Dingen” (“On the Body and Other Things”), in Prague, Moscow, Berlin and Bochum during 2003 and 2004 and “Prospect Photographie”, curated by Peter Weiermair at the Frankfurter Kunstverein in 1989.
