Stephan Theurich’s Double and Multiple Exposures (2014/2015)

Born in 1968 in Darmstadt in Germany, he started in 1991 his fine art studies in performing and visual arts in Bonn at the “Alanus University of Arts and Social Sciences”. There he concentrated in sculpture and three-dimensional designs in clay and plaster. From 1999 to 2002 Stephan Theurich visited the fine arts classes in Basel at the University for Design and Art (Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst, HGK FHNW) and afterwards worked as an art teacher, at the same time he continued creating media art projects. Drawing, naturally, has always been an important aspect of his artistic education in Bonn. For Theurich, drawing played a leading role, abstract as well as representative. For his sculptures he used diverse materials as clay and plaster, wood, metal and stone.

Now, from 2013 on, Stephan Theurich restarted with immense energy his series of double exposures. While the double or multiple exposure is a well known photographical technique, turning the camera by 180 degrees is a very innovative artistic steps. It's a real turnaround move that changes everything. The whole impression of the picture gets completely new.
