From Merce Cunningham Dance Company: 50th Anniversary - Signed, numbered and dated // Vera Lutter’s Engine Frankfurt Airport (2001) is a gelatin silver print that exemplifies her distinctive style of using pinhole camera techniques to create large-scale, negative images. This photograph captures the silhouette of an aircraft engine against the geometric patterns of the airport’s tarmac. The blurred contours and high-contrast black-and-white tones evoke a sense of motion and timelessness, characteristic of Lutter’s exploration of urban and industrial spaces. The interplay between light and shadow highlights the engine's form, while the abstract composition transforms the mundane into an enigmatic, almost surreal visual experience. The piece is signed, numbered, and dated by the artist, marking it as part of her exploration within the context of modern movement and architecture.
