It is a question of thinking this time of the end to avoid the end of time. Paradoxically, it is a step aside that allows this frontal view: the shift of the photographic view joins here the philosophical marginality; both combine amazement in front of life and questioning of its meaning, converging towards the same ethical commitment for the future.
Matthias Koch is an artist and photographer originally from Germany. He lived and worked in Chile, Venezuela, Mexico and France and currently established his basecamp in the South of France.
His work is based on intimate questions related to absence, memory and survival. Through a documentary approach, he seeks to explore the fragile and shifting boundaries between past and present, the visible and the invisible.
"Matthias Koch’s photographs have a great strength, an intensity of monstration that cannot leave indifferent to our time and to the world, they cause uneasiness and a diffuse anguish from which one cannot escape because it is indeed reality that is at stake, stripped of all fiction." Claude Molzino, Philosopher
