In 2019, the Haus der Fotografie Burghausen received more than 40 works by Cologne artist Herbert Döring-Spengler from the "Teutloff Photo + Video Collection" from the estate of textile entrepreneur, gallery owner and exhibition organiser Lutz Teutloff (1938-2017). These are shown together with new works in the exhibition. For the photo artist Döring-Spengler, the Polaroid has been the starting point of his artistic investigations since the 1980s. He experimentally penetrates the materiality of the image carrier and manipulates the different material as well as theoretical layers of the image. Connections are newly established, associations arise and take the viewer on a search for clues. The radical intervention in the materiality of the image creates new pictorial worlds and removes the ground from photography's claim to depict reality.
