Andreas Müller-Pohle (born July 19, 1951 in Braunschweig ) is a German photographer, media artist and publisher. Since the mid-1970s, his photographic work has investigated questions of mediality and perceptibility. He is considered an important representative of experimental photography[1] and is the originator of the theory of "Visualism".[2][3]

As a publisher, Müller-Pohle has significantly contributed to the development of artistic photography since the early 1980s through his bi-lingual art magazine and academic journal European Photography.[4] In addition, he is committed to the distribution of Vilém Flusser’s writings, whose work he made known primarily in the German-speaking world.

Biography

Andreas Müller-Pohle attended primary schools in Hanover and Kassel during 1958-1962, then 1962-70, obtained the leaving certificate at Kassel Gymnasium. He studied law at Göttingen University from 1970-1, after which he trained as a commercial employee at Continental Gummi-Werke AG, Hanover until 1973. He studied economics and communication science from 1973 to 1974 in Hanover and from 1974 to 1979 in Göttingen, during which time he was introduced to photography by a friend and purchased equipment, teaching himself the medium.[5] He initially worked with the moving image, and from the mid-1970s onwards devoted himself to practical and theoretical engagement with photography, undertaking a project Konstellationen to deal with pictorial syntax.

Writer, theoretician

Müller-Pohle joined the journal Fotograpafie as writer and critic from 1971 to 1979, when he founded the magazine European Photography and has been its publisher ever since.[6] At his suggestion, his friend, philosopher Vilém Flusser wrote the essay “For a Philosophy of Photography” in 1981, which was followed by other media and cultural-philosophical texts in the following years. Since then, Müller-Pohle has been working intensively with Flusser’s oeuvre and archive. In 1987, together with Volker Rapsch, he published Flusser's essay “Die Schrift” as an early electronic book on diskette - as an early forerunner of the e-book . In 1996 he produced the “Edition Flusser”, a ten-volume edition.

Awards

In 2001 Müller-Pohle was awarded the “European Photography Prize” sponsored by the Reind M. De Vries Foundation, a one-time award for special services to European photography.

Educator

Since the early 1980s he has been teaching as a visiting professor and lecturer at teaching institutes in Europe, Asia and North and South America, and in 2005 he founded Eye-Mind, an individual workshop initiative in Berlin.

Photographic practice

Andreas Müller-Pohle's work spans a wide variety of topics and concepts in pursuit of a reflective examination of the medium of photography. His first projects from the mid-1970s dealt with questions of image aesthetics and photographic perception, he then turned to - now also with the medium of video - photo recycling and the materiality and immateriality of photography. His first solo exhibition was in 1978. Müller-Pohle's interest in “interfaces”[7][8][9] in their double function as alienation and translation leads him in several of his works to completely renounce the classic photographic image and to transform it into other code systems (such as alphanumeric or genetic codes).[10][11]

His work The Danube River Project , created in 2005/06, takes up this longstanding preoccupation with interfaces: A “picture atlas” of the Danube is supplemented and commented on by its “blood picture”, which the artist determined from water samples and inscribed in the photographs. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]

Müller-Pohle's subsequent project, “Hong Kong Waters”, is also concerned with the subject of water.[26] It is dedicated to the diverse water landscapes of the Asian metropolis in a photo, video and sound installation.[27][28] Another work on the topic of water, Kaunas upon the Rivers , was created in 2017 as part of an artist in residence.

Since 2013 Müller-Pohle has been working on an extensive cycle on aspects of urban traffic ( Studies on Traffic), for which he uses the media of photography, sound and video.

Müller-Pohle's work has received international attention since the mid-1980s. His work has been widely published and exhibited in more than 200 exhibitions at home and abroad and is represented in numerous public and private collections.
