"m Umfeld der funktionalen Architektur urbaner Räume findet Guido Klumpe Motive, die er mit seiner Kamera als Poesie des Profanen inszeniert. Seine malerischen Bilder entfalten mit reduzierter Formsprache eine opulente Wirkung und zeigen uns die Schönheit des Moments im Fluss des Alltags.“
ArtNow Gallery, Berlin
Brand new:
My first art photography book is here!
This book is not a traditional illustrated book. It is an invitation to see your surroundings in a new light – beyond the obvious. Klump's precise gaze focuses on the unspectacular, the overlooked, the fleeting – and Wolfgang Zurborn turns this into visually dense series that evoke associations and leave room for your own stories.
ATTENTION!
Due to high demand, the first shipment of 100 books is unexpectedly quickly sold out. The next shipment should arrive in the last week of August. If you pre-order now, you will receive a signed 13x18 cm print as a thank you for waiting!

Guido Klumpe
German photographer Guido Klumpe’s work includes abstract, minimalist, and street photography. Born with a severe congenital visual impairment, he perceives the world differently.
Guido sees cities as urban landscapes, landscapes consisting of shapes, colors, light and reflections. He uses perspective, a particular point of view, and the poetry of chance in the old tradition of street photography, to create his compositions. This way, he creates a “stage” in which passers-by act as protagonists. His work highlights the mystery and absurdity of urban spaces while simultaneously revealing its hidden beauty.
In his work, he investigates how we perceive dimensionality and is particularly interested in the moment of transition, when by reducing the optical reference points, three-dimensional architecture dissolves into a two-dimensional plane, lending many of his images an almost painterly quality. Considerations that arise during this process include the importance of information that helps establish a distinction between the foreground and background, and the type and number of objects involved.
Guido’s work has won numerous international awards, has been widely published, and is included in many solo and group exhibitions throughout Europe.
