This is the building of a large bank operating in Southern Germany. To us it is an example of how corporations try to appear as immaculate and sleek. Their buildings and the one of the hotel chains have become the temples of our time. In former times people went to churches and marvelled at their size and impressive interior. Today we stop and raise our heads to look at skyscrapers and stare in awe at enormous entrance halls.
Pertinent to this image we'd like to point you to a movie with a critical view on the way of the big corporations which drive our economy and society: "
The Corporation".
We have been asked what our photographic influences are and we have to admit that we are totally addicted cineasts. So we concluded it might be a good idea to link to a movie once in a while that has impressed us or even influenced our photography, also in a broader sense, and/or provoked thought.
