Thomas Nitz is an artist who blurs the boundaries between painting and photography. His distinctive technique involves multiple exposures on specially prepared surfaces, giving his photographs a unique texture and tactility. Each of his works is a one-of-a-kind piece since the development of the photo depends on the individual behavior of the surface. In his series “Cathedrals and Metropolis,” Nitz explores shopping malls and urban landscapes as modern cathedrals of consumption, reflecting the urban transformation.
1971 Engelskirchen, Germany

Before every photography, there is the processing of the underground, using pictorial means. Nitz takes watercolor boxes, which he primates with color and makes light with an emulsion. The manual process is the prerequisite of his works, because every carton is different and unpredictable of the result.
