Gottmann's urban photography shows architecture and human beings, both mysteriously blurred and strangely disconnected from one another. He creates photographic metaphors that evoke a general, self-inflicted anguish inherent in modern Western society: Façades rise impressively into the sky, leading the eye into deep skyscraper canyons, while silhouettes of the human figure seem fragile and helpless. The question arises whether society is still in command of its self-established, modern values or if it's suffering from them.
