Fleeting Closeness

Matti Duerr · 2026 · 7 photographs

A strip of light in a tunnel. A hand carrying a shopping bag. A face at the edge of focus. Seven photographs taken on 7 May 2026 connect fleeting closeness with the distance of the street. Individual gestures emerge from the darkness, enter our view for a moment and disappear again in passing.

A strip of light in a tunnel. A hand carrying a shopping bag. A face at the edge of focus. Seven photographs made on 7 May 2026 bring the city close through passing gestures, fragments and brief appearances.
