In The Fall, Tobias Zielony presents a new configuration of photographs from his recent projects. These include Undead (2020), in which far-right terrorists are represented as zombies, Inventory Series (2020), which observes everyday objects and familiar scenes during pandemic-induced lockdowns, and portraits of young people taken against the urban nightscapes of cities of Germany, Japan, Korea, and Malta. Each series reflects the contemporary realities and cultural phenomena unique to the locations where the photographs were taken. Once removed from their original contexts and collectively rearranged in a new setting, however, the photographs collectively allude to the possibility of a universal narrative: the experience of navigating through conflict and confusion, shared widely across the globe. Additionally, photographs of urban landscapes, both bleak and captivating, are alternately positioned next to the portraits, resulting in a convergence of the life stories of different individuals and the cities they live in. A total of 25 photographs are on view across the two floors of the exhibition.
