Description: Summary: Olaf Unverzart's quiet and precise observations reveal - in contrast to traditional travel and journalistic photography - nothing exotic or unknown. He is wary of presenting trophies, and despite similar moods, themes and coloring, new surprising motifs emerge, which are difficult to categorize in geographical and cultural terms. The starting point of his interest is mankind, even though it is seldom the focal point of his pictures. Unverzart photographs wonderfully poetically, operating on a fine line between narration and a void. He invites viewers to see for themselves and to pass on the stories. In this documentation of his travels over the past ten years he once again succeeds in revealing things that cannot be seen.
