About the exhibitiong Night Vision
The title of the exhibition draws on the project that the Dortmund artist Dirk Pleyer developed for the Schafhof. His series of paintings, Nachtsichtbilder (Night Vision Images), is juxtaposed with two photographic positions: the abstracted images by the Portuguese, Munich-based artist Martim Brion, and the nocturnal city scenes by Berlin photographer Jürgen Bürgin.
The juxtaposition of painting and photography in the context of the year‘s theme enables a comparison of the artistic media in their search for the representation of light. Our fundamental experience of light and shadow is the alternation of day and night. Human visual perception is made possible by light, which is why darkness seems dangerous. Artificial light is used to reinterpret the environment.
About the Artists
Dirk Pleyer
Born in Recklinghausen in 1968, lives and works in Dortmund
"I am fascinated by the fact that a night vision device can detect things or living beings and that, on the other hand, there are living beings – e.g. in the deep sea – that leave traces of light and assert themselves in the darkness with amazing light strategies. In science, this is referred to as ‘bioluminescence’."

Martim Brion
born in Lissabon in 1986, lives and works in Münchenwww.martimbrion.com
Martim Brion’s work explores the aesthetic potential of color and form. Roxy P is a series of photographs of liquids taken with a strong lateral light source. The result is a kind of cloud figures that remain in constant motion due to the light.

The photo series Urban Fever. Scene from City Live tells of the diversity of life in the big city in personal and emotionally charged images taken in Tokyo, New York, Berlin, Saigon, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Barcelona. A selection of nocturnal scenes will be shown in the exhibition.
