Andy Kania - Habe Durst wie Harald Juhnke

Kania's works provide insight into urban, seemingly bizarre residual realities that are not displayed, but first shared.
The medium of photography as a producer of ""crazy images rubbed off from the real"" (Barthes) is reflected in the sensitive depiction of peculiar marginal figures that seem to be worn down by reality.
In the field of tension between the grotesque and the aesthetic, between the repulsive and the attractive, Kania manages, through intimacy, to break down the boundaries of asocial voyeurism and to enable and promote urgently needed social empathy.
