How should a photographer react to today's flood of images? Confronting the reality that too much is being produced in every area of photography, Boris von Brauchitsch has developed a radical and challenging answer to the problem: Every new picture taken must make one hundred others obsolete. The risks of creating superfluous images run highest when travelling. Thus, on each trip he takes, he limits himself accordingly. At every new location, he allows himself a maximum of three times three pictures: nine photographs organized within a strict square grid. They capture the specific moments that first caught his eye within an as yet undiscovered whole, complimented by a short contextualizing essay.
The tableaux of the renowned photographer and author Boris von Brauchitsch reveal a fascinating dialog between image and text. Both intimate and subjective, they shed light, not on the tired cliché, but on the unique. They place themselves as champions, not just of the collection rather of the significant fragments that, together, create the whole.
