Bauhaus · A Photographic Journey Through Modernism
Weimar and Dessau are the great names. But the traces of modernism reach much further.
Since 2009, photographer Jean Molitor has documented modern architecture around the world. Together with texts by architectural historian Kaija Voss, his work has grown into an extraordinary book series published by BeBra Verlag.
Berlin. Bavaria. North Rhine-Westphalia. Thuringia. And a photographic journey from Europe to Africa and the Americas.
Familiar icons stand alongside buildings that are often overlooked. Together, they reveal how far the ideas of modernism travelled and how differently they took shape from place to place.

Walter Gropius – Was bedeutet Bauhaus?
Für Walter Gropius bedeutete „bauen“ weit mehr, als Häuser zu errichten.
Das Bauhausgebäude war nicht nur Architektur. Es war ein Experiment darüber, wie Raum, Gestaltung, Lehre und gemeinschaftliches Arbeiten zusammenwirken können.
Durch die Räume gehen. Die Perspektiven wechseln. Verstehen, wie Architektur unser Sehen verändert.
Ein Jahrhundert später kann man diesen Gedanken noch immer erleben.
Es ist eine Idee, die sich im Raum erfahren lässt.

Long before #textile#design became widely recognized, Anni Albers was already redefining what #weaving could be.
