Angels at Altitude, the new photographic series by Christian Bruer, 2025
The photographic series presents a disconcerting, at once ironic and profoundly serious reinterpretation of the role of flight attendants in civil aviation. Situated between photography, archival material, and conceptual overlay, it opens an aesthetic space that renders visible both the popular clichés and the invisible realities of this profession.
N.Y.C. B&W, 2017
Although New York City is known for its density and constant movement, the photographs of N.Y.C.B&W (New York City black & white) are almost entirely devoid of people. Instead, architecture, perspective, and atmosphere take center stage. When human figures do appear, they evoke a sense of isolation and estrangement.
French Summer, 2017
Towards the end of summer, the French Atlantic coast unfolds a particular charm. The heat of the high season slowly fades, just as the steady flow of tourists begins to ebb away. During the day, the sun still casts its pleasantly warming light—enveloping the landscape, the coastline, and even the insignia of civilization in a soft, golden glow.
PermaNet365, 2016-2021
The neologism PermaNet365 emerges from the fusion of “permanent,” “internet,” and the number “365” as a symbol of the year. In this cycle, historical time undergoes a twofold transformation into “photo-graphic” art: for an entire year (first in 2016), the top headlines of diverse online news portals are documented through the act of photographing a computer screen. Years later, these images are revisited, radically enlarged, and physically reproduced as autonomous works.
The effect is striking: pixel and graphic form assume the foreground, while the historical context recedes into the background. Each work thus creates a deliberate distance from the original act of reporting in both image and text – indeed, the new work often confronts the original narrative with a diametrically opposed visual and emotional force. Behind every work of PermaNet365 lies a story: perhaps one already heard, perhaps one forgotten, but always one that stirs, unsettles, and surprises.
