About This Project

Uta Genilke

Come closer. Have no fear. Look, this is my room, dark and warm, nothing can happen to you here. This is where we want to creep away, hide from the world. Relax. Take a deep breath. Can you see your inner light? KOMM NÄHER (Come Closer) is a meditation on closeness and distance. A dark and poetic aesthetic combines portraits of family members and strangers with views of interiors, houses and gardens. Seemingly contradictory elements such as beauty and ugliness, realism and fantasy, trust and fear flow together in this visual world, and only a thin line separates the familiar reality of everyday life from a bizarre dream world.
