Hans Hansen is considered one of the most important contemporary artists in the field of still life photography. His work combines poetic still lifes with stringent and documentary product photography. His perspective on objects is highly reduced, linear, and simultaneously full of energy. Everyday products and utilitarian items form the subjects of his images. With technical precision and graphic minimalism, he gives the objects a specific presence and teaches us to view the everyday world anew. Few photographers in his field have shaped our perception of ordinary things as significantly over the decades as Hans Hansen. The catalog is published on the occasion of the exhibition "Hans Hansen: Still Life - Photographs from 1957 to 2017" at C/O Berlin.
