Photo exhibition in Haus der Bildung GA photographer presents “Rhine perspectives”
Bonn · GA photographer Volker Lannert is presenting his photos from Bonn in an exhibition at the Haus der Bildung. His title in German is "R (h) einperspektiven" and his pictures offer very special impressions of Bonn and the Rhine.
"A city without a river is not a city," says Bonn photographer Volker Lannert. On the banks of the Rhine, he can relax and think wonderfully. For him, the Rhine is not only a recreational feature, but also an artistic function that inspires him again and again. "The water of the Rhine is an important element that changes every day; it flows differently every day," says Lannert. In the exhibition "R (h) einperspektiven", which was opened yesterday in the Haus der Bildung by the Volkshochschule (community adult education) and the City Archives, the river is the element that connects many of the approximate 60 photos on display.
One of them shows a photo of the Kennedy Bridge taken on a summer evening near the river, with impressive colors in the sky. For this motif, Lannert had to click several times: "Here I have six to seven pictures partly superimposed," explains the professional photographer, who is often on the search for unusual perspectives.
Lannert says he likes the perspective from up high and once in awhile, he also works with a drone to get the perfect picture. For those who want to enjoy his pictures of Bonn and the Rhine, his exhibition is open until May 4, Monday through Friday, from 10 am - 6 pm, and Saturdays from 10 am - 2 pm; in the Haus der Bildung, Mülheimer Platz 1.
