Branko Lenart / Wahr genommen

“Wahr genommen” is the title of Branko Lenart’s book, which summarizes his 25-year photographic oeuvre and is divided into various periods in a way suggestive of methodical thought. Lenart´s pun brings perception into proximity with truth and alludes to an aesthetic debate that has been of relevance to photography, on the question whether a technology capable of reproducing reality in even the most minute detail can also produce art with a claim to truthfulness. “Wahr genommen” – a pun involving the double meaning of “perceived” and “accepted as true”.
