Presentation

Many cameras have followed the Kodak B11 6x6 bellows model given to Bernard Muller when he was 10. Each new camera was an improvement on its predecessor, however what really revolutionised photography and opened up new horizons for him was the arrival in the 90s of computer software to digitally manipulate images. It was only then that he was able to capture those fleeting moments that appeared within his viewfinder and to digitally alter and re-interpret them. That brief moment, so quickly passed, would threaten to return to him, in a darker, more menacing form.

Bernard Muller holds onto that gap between imagination and reality and tries to make his work as true to life in appearance as possible. He tries to capture, as best he can, those fleeting moments within our fragile social organisation that appears to him to be more and more inhumane, more unequal, more breaking down and suicidal than it actually is. More…. Is there really any more…?…
