Diversity, color, symbolism - the culture and history of a country are manifested in the depictions and lettering on the banknotes, and monuments are erected to very different people for various reasons.

Kuhn combines the front, core, and reverse of a banknote in a single image, thus creating a symbiotic view that shows both the familiar and the unknown at a glance, which at the same time awakens memories and causes irritation.

The project banknotes - faces of currencies

Things often look different when viewed from a distance. Considered from quite far away, things look very special. This is shown by photographer Stefan Kuhn in his LAKESHORE OPERATIONS series. From a bird's eye view and from different positions and flight altitudes, Kuhn photographed shoreline landscapes and composed the individual images into works consisting of several panels. The result is landscapes that, despite their restrained post-processing, oscillate between representationalism and abstraction.

LAKESHORE OPERATIONS | Winter Series 

This series of works are documentary photographs of beach life scenes on the Italian adriatic coast. The pictures were taken in the summer of 2010 during a two-week stay on the beaches of Carola, Cavallino-Treporti and Eraclea Mare.

On closer inspection you can always recognize groups or individuals that are separated. People never look directly into the camera, are on their own, seem apathetic and thoughtful. A feeling of peace and silence manifests itself, but also of relaxation. The viewer attends the scenes, is right in the middle of them.


BEACH LIFE

As we all know, things often look different when viewed from a distance. Especially when viewed from a great distance. From a bird's eye view and from different positions and altitudes, I´ve photographed ice surfaces of frozen lakes. The result is landscapes that oscillate between figuration and abstraction.

For many, our technology filled world elicits anxiety over an almost total lack of privacy. Constant cellular geotagging and deep data mining can surrender an incredible amount of information that tells prying eyes where we are and what we’re thinking about. But even if we abandon technology in preference of a digitally clean life, we’ll always leave traces of ourselves behind and sometimes in disconcerting ways.
