Photography is an essential practice in the work of renowned director Wim Wenders. With his landscape photographs, he questions the assumptions or expectations that an observer might have. In 2012, he titled his solo exhibition at the OstLicht Gallery "Places, strange and quiet," which featured photographs from his travels to Australia, Armenia, Japan, Italy, the USA, and eastern Germany. "It must be some kind of built-in radar that often leads me to places that are either strangely quiet or quietly strange."
