Artistic biography

In 1992, Daniel and Geo Fuchs started their common photographic work. From the beginning, they focused on producing series of photographs with a strong conceptual approach. The prerequisite for their work is an intense analysis of their chosen subject; the production of a series usually takes several months or even years of research, collecting of material, image selection, and test runs. From an historical art perspective, their oeuvre belongs to

concept art Concept art is a form of visual art used to convey an idea for use in films, video games, animation, comic books, or other media before it is put into the final product. Concept art usually refers to world-building artwork used to inspire the ...

; objectivity, staging, and a wealth of detail. In the beginning, until about 1996, the artist duo's interest was concentrated on topics like ‘Homelessness’, ’Trans-Sexuality’ and ‘Mental Illness’. Until the year 2008, Daniel and Geo Fuchs mainly worked with large format camera and tripod, a relatively slow, time-consuming process. In 2009, with the entry of new media, the artist duo began to experiment with digital techniques.

Concept and aesthetics

Daniel and Geo Fuchs’ photographs have in common, that they fabricate on first view a feel of ’yes - I got it ‘ or ‘yeah that’s obvious’. But intuitively you're pushed to take a closer look, check out the details and arrangements, and all the sudden you ask yourself, what in the moment, while the image was taken, actually existed and what not. Thereby it doesn't matter, whether it is about an arrangement of photographed miniatures like in the ‘''Toy Giants’'' series or a mountain range like in ''“Nature and Destruction”''. Independent, whether the images were produced in nature, in an archive or a studio, the viewer will realize, that reality and fiction must have turned into one - how little or how much depends on the concept of the specific work series. Ambiguity is a central component in the work of Daniel & Geo Fuchs and exists in multiple regards. The subtle pretense of something, what can’t be real and if at all, only under different circumstances is one of them. Another one is the balancing act between the extremes - there is hardly a work series, which does not live of antagonists, like - death and esthetics, beauty and destruction, perfectionism and decay. Examples are the series ''‘Forces’'' and ''‘Nature and Destruction’''. Often one work phase of Daniel & Geo Fuchs mounts already into the next one, as theme and project cycles overlap or run parallel. Due to their large interest in the environment, Daniel & Geo Fuchs developed a strong affinity for that, what first needs to be discovered, is still hidden in the dark or even secret and subsequently for the fascinating world of collections and archives. Visual proofs are the series ''‘Conserving’,'' ''‘Toy Giants’'' and ''‘STASI - Secret Rooms’''.

Work series

Since the beginning of their international career until now, Daniel & Geo Fuchs’ œuvre can be ordered into seven large projects: ''Conserving (1998)'', ''Famous Eyes'' (2000), ''STASI – Secret Rooms'' (2006), Toy Giants (2006), ''Forces'' (2010), ''Nature and Destruction'' and – the latest project – ''The Halva Project'' (since 2014). The dead bodies, photographed for the ‘''Conserving''’ series, have in common that all of them were inserted in formalin to achieve the best possible and durable conservation. Some of them have already existed for several hundred years. In a time when photography did not exist, as a medium ‘to freeze/keep the moment” and provide a visual memory, this process was the alternative and in a certain sense an own form/variety of sculpture became established, which Daniel and Geo Fuchs have emulated for their project. The themes of life, death, aesthetics and uneasiness touch each other in a similar way to the series ''‘Conserving’, which is organized in three topics - fish, animals, humans. The fascination, created by the photographs of these preserved creatures, inspired the Berlin band

to cooperate with Daniel and Geo Fuchs. The artist duo developed the main art concept for the band's third album, Mutter (Mother), 2001, which included the general aesthetic appeal of all singles released and the cover of the ‘Mutter’ Album, which stirred up a controversial discussion in public media. The cover shows a baby that died at birth almost 200 years ago. The baby is conserved in alcohol and was photographed by Daniel Fuchs and Geo Fuchs for their book "Conserving". The promotional photos were also shot by Daniel and Geo Fuchs. All pictures are inspired by original photos in their book "Conserving". Daniel & Geo Fuchs work series Famous Eyes, focuses exclusively on the human eye. Many artists, architects and curators, including

Although the focus of this series is on a single sensory organ, the artwork executed in the form of a collage (collage style) allows a deep insight into the private personality of the photographed person. The photography series ''‘Toy Giants'' established Daniel and Geo Fuchs popularity on a broader level within the international audience/public. The initial spark was their connection with the collector Selim Varol, who owns one of the largest toy and street art collections in the world. For ''‘Toy Giants’'' the artist duo established relations between toy figures of all genres like,

The miniature sized, protagonists of ''‘Toy Giants’'', were photographed with a large format camera, and presented in exhibitions in the scale of real existing people, which invites the viewer to participate in an interaction of staging and reality.

For this project, Daniel and Geo Fuchs photographed rooms representing the former power/ authority of the

on the wall, is an artistic visualization of the evidence that the regime was an ailing system long before the fall of the Wall. The images were taken 15 years after the fall of the wall, in rooms, which Daniel and Geo Fuchs still found in their initial condition. In compliance with the status-quo, the artists photographed solely during daylight. The only style element for each picture is the same calculated central point, which seems to drag the viewer into the room. ''‘Forces’'' is a project, which concentrates on military and warfare. For this series, Daniel and Geo Fuchs used their sober and distant point of view to put single objects like jets, weapons, grenades, and projectiles in the center of their attention - in front of their camera. In the artistic interpretation of Daniel and Geo Fuchs a hand grenade evolves, separated from its original destructive purpose, into an object of extraordinary fascination and aesthetics, a T-mine turns into a stylish beauty.

’. Excited that Daniel and Geo Fuchs had accommodated a little dog, many befriended artists were inspired by the photograph and based on it their own portrayals of Halva. This led Daniel and Geo Fuchs to the idea that artists of any genre create an artistic interpretation of little Halva. To realize the project the duo started, in 2015, traveling to shootings with Halva, often in their motor home. During their, to date, not finished journey, Halva already has been photographed by

with his already 10 year old French Poodle Charley in a specially designed Pickup-Camper, to revisit and rediscover the country he had been raised in and described in his novels. Yet different to John Steinbeck is, that in Daniel and Geo Fuchs’ project, the dog is not just company, but the purpose for the journey. The goal is always to meet somewhere with renowned representatives of the art world, who create an artwork, which visualizes the Russian Toy Terrier female dog Halva. The idea, as well as realization, turned this project into something unique in the art world, as Halva will be the first dog, which at an uncertainly dated project end, has been photographed, painted, and drawn by a huge number of artists.

Exhibition conditions

Already in the production process of their photography series, Daniel and Geo Fuchs consider the respective form of the presentation in the exhibition room. An always recurring feature is the large size/format which admittedly represents a formal attribute, but is not separated from the content. The large size offers the viewer the chance to pay attention to the richness in detail of each single work. The toys in ‘Toy Giants’, fascinates because the enlarged focus is driven on components, which are often neglected or even ignored. Traces of usage like scratches or not accurately executed painting during production, reveal the individual story, which each serial manufactured product might offer. In reference to the style of the formalize preserved body, usually kept in a glass container, the photographs of the ‘Conserving’ series are concealed as
