The photographer's favorite themes so far, family and his Baltic German roots, have become more abstract in this exhibition. Photos taken of loved ones also act as a general sign of the impulses of movement accompanying life and the changing charm of everyday moments. The patterns of movement have been abstracted into symbols by an analog camera, with the slightly blurry and distracted nature of the photos taken, conveying both the momentary passivity of the standstill and the mood of ignorance accompanying the progress.

When shooting with an analog camera, you have to trust the process. “In analog photography, you don’t see the result immediately, you have to wait,” explains Jörn Frenzel. “When you have 36 frames (or 12 frames for 120 film), those individual images are precious. As an architect, I have learned to cope with many external constraints while creating and designing. I have adopted them. In the same way, analog photography imposes limitations, which I welcome when I shoot.”
According to Frenzel, photography gives him access to a very personal state of mind, reminiscent of travel: “I like to walk into situations without a final plan and open up to tasks, this applies to photography as well as life and my work as an architect and designer.”
