Dieter Nuhr

Somewhere Else is Everywhere

This monograph offers a glimpse into Dieter Nuhr’s quiet yet compelling view of the world. 

Combining photography, painting, and drawing, artist Dieter Nuhr transforms fleeting moments into images of timeless beauty that transcend boundaries and open up new perspectives. Nuhr is interested in distinctive and often overlooked locales. From his home in Germany’s Ruhr region, his vision extends across continents and cultures. In his work, the near and the far converge, as do memory and the present moment. Landscapes and faces coalesce into quiet narratives about the act of seeing itself and the ability to discover a piece of the world no matter where you are. This volume, published to accompany a touring exhibition sponsored by the Essen-based Brost Foundation, explores the poetic power of his images.
