A Hole in the Sky

Neven Allgeier’s (b. Wiesbaden, 1986; lives and works in Frankfurt/Main and Vienna) photographs revolve around themes such as environmental change, politics, pop culture, and subcultures. Most recently, his series were presented in extensive solo exhibitions at the Kunsthaus Göttingen and the Nassauischer Kunstverein Wiesbaden. He has also published pictures in media including SPIKE Art Quarterly and ZEIT Magazin. In his new photobook A Hole in the Sky, Allgeier explores the stylistic groups of our time. Portraits that spotlight the individual sitters’ carefully crafted self-presentation meet group constellations; cityscapes and landscapes awash in light meet positively enchanted details. The pictures are accompanied by text contributions. The authors articulate their perspectives on the contemporary world in free-form writing. They live in the places where the photographs were taken: Istanbul, Jakarta, Tbilisi, and Berlin. After Porträts (2021) and Fading Temples (2022), A Hole in the Sky is Allgeier’s third book published by DISTANZ.
