art place berlin shows the exhibition: Magic Places - Photography by Florian Westermann

His passion is to discover and capture the breathtaking spectacle of landscape and light, wherever on earth he may find it. It is to these magical places that Florian Westermann wants to lead the viewer emotionally and communicate their beauty, grandeur and drama. He wants to show that the unbelievable is reality and is really there.

For Florian Westermann photography is an ongoing process of self-discovery, learning, and following a deep desire to go out and explore the world. Photography is much more than producing a lasting memory for him. It gives him the opportunity to give artistic expression to the portrayal of nature and habitat characterized by his view.

Florian Westermann (b. 1980) grew up in West Berlin and witnessed firsthand the fall of the wall. Reunification and the city as a rapidly changing melting pot influenced his childhood and youth. Already in this context, he developed a very strong interest in photography. After leaving school, he started his career as a business journalist in 1999. On numerous journeys, he also had the opportunity to devote himself to landscape photography and to discover new, fascinating places over and over again.

With the exhibition "Magical Places" at 'art place berlin', he exhibits works of recent years to a wider audience in Berlin for the first time. Thirty-nine high-quality large-formats show impressive motifs from the cities of New York and San Francisco, the vastness of the American Southwest, the paradise islands of the Seychelles, and motifs from Europe such as the German and Swiss Alps or the Mediterranean island of Sicily.

"Photography is a fire that burns inside my heart and will not let me go. In pristine nature, I find something that is larger and more important than ourselves" – Florian Westermann. Since 2014, he lives and works in Munich.
