    Photo exhibition

The exhibition at the Museum Koenig in Bonn opens up an unknown, fascinating world of mineral imagery to the curious viewer, whose incredible wealth of colours, structures and variety of motifs can only be marvelled at, and which, beyond the scientific message, triggers the most diverse emotional sensations. In this way, pictures are created that are sometimes cheerful and dreamlike, sometimes serious and profound, expressing the diverse experiences of human existence; following Paul Klee's statement: 'Art does not reproduce the visible, but makes visible'.
