Lucifer’s Vortex
08.03.2021 – 05.09.2021
With Lucifer’s Vortex, the Museum DKM is staging the second extensive exhibition of the artist Tom Fecht (DE, 1952), which focuses on his dramatic night photography. Tom Fecht’s artistic practice is strongly influenced by his earlier career as an engineer and art historian. Both complex visual media of scientific research and art-historical research as well as art historical references have enriched the repertoire of his photographic imagination and form the starting point for the exhibition Lucifer’s Vortex photographic studies of the sea and portraits.
