Leo Burnett - Cultural Fuel

I just came across the website of photographer Wolfgang Stahl (Munich).

Stahl’s consistent visual language is one of vibrant colours, stark geometric subjects and sublime composition. Usually minimalistic and unadulerated, streetscapes are interspersed with deliberately placed civilizational debris, while people appear as transfigured products of society, gazing into a distant nullity.

Seemingly purposeless and discarded objects become testament of the dichotomy that, even in the absence of man, he and his artefacts wield influence over our collective conscious and our psychological strata. All of it reminding us that beneath the aseptic surface of life and the symmetry forced upon our ancestral past, lies more than the sheen of our skewed perceptions and desires: namely, our repressed or actualized struggles to become who we are.
