Andrea
Wilmsen - Otium - Negotium - May 13th to June 24th, 2012
“Otium-Negotium” is a narrative cycle of photographs reflecting
Berlin-based artist Andrea Wilmsen’s expression of two seemingly
contradictory collections of images, one series of nature, the
other of urban photographs. Andrea Wilmsen approaches both sides of
human nature through her own direct perception: the longing for stillness
reflected through nature and the perpetual push to be driven by movement
and excitement through urban life. www.andrea-wilmsen.de

Billy Wilder and many more and rendered outstanding services to the
