Climate change, migration, wars, and the resurgence of ideological thinking are creating an atmosphere of uncertainty in society. Since 2024, in his ongoing series \u201cOur Present. Refractions\u201d, photographer G\u00f6ran Gnaudschun has sought to capture the prevailing mood and the state of society. Galerie Poll is presenting his new work for the first time as part of the 11th European Month of Photography Berlin 2025 – EMOP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In \u201cOur Present. Refractions\u201d, Gnaudschun blends portraits of people from different generations and backgrounds with images of landscapes, fleeting moments, and found scenes \u2013 connecting individuals with symbols of political and social conflicts, and with his own personal environment. The colour photographs come together in the gallery space to form a dense, layered structure. His portraits depict witnesses of an ever-moving present, where what is possible quickly becomes what once was. Neuroscientists say the present lasts only three seconds \u2013 after that, it is already the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dark cloud drifts ominously through the crowns of tall oaks. A child leaves colourful handprints as a tribute to his fallen father in the Forest of Remembrance of the German Armed Forces in Geltow. An Israeli dog tag dated 7th October 2023 serves as a stark reminder of the brutal Hamas attack that claimed over a thousand lives and resulted in more than one hundred hostages. Yet the series also captures fleeting joys and everyday moments of lightness: midges dancing in the sunlight, three white butterflies somehow casting four black shadows, a delicate feather resting in a child\u2019s hand. Close-ups of data cables, plastic sheeting, stubble, and blades of grass contrast with sweeping panoramas of the Lieberose Desert or the floodwaters of the Oder River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea behind Gnaudschun\u2019s new series is simple: photographing the here and now. G\u00f6ran Gnaudschun: \u201cEveryone experiences the present in a different way. I feel like there are so many issues, so many problems in the air, and the world is changing at an incredible speed. I am trying to find my own images for that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
