In a multitude of parallel themes and motives, Florian Glaubitz collects materials and instances in order to create his own world and to structure his day-to-day.
"Florian Glaubitz’s images (…) lead me to questions around the ever-present interrelation of body, material, and product. Not so much through words, but through a visual language that has been developed over years, he talks of desire, relentlessly demands beauty, and attempts to hold onto temporary states of being in which everything seems possible. The images open up the question of what remains and what will touch us over and over again. The portraits, landscapes, and still lives function as a matrix for ideas and mirror an inexorable thriving towards contemporary interpretations of live-fare away from dominant accelerated, superficial, and neoliberal forms of society and production." — Nora-Swantje Almes
