Stone quarries

For the series of photographs “Steinbrüche” (Quarries), 1989, the artist visited the quarries in Carrara, Italy. Since the 1980s Wunderlich has been referring to the origins of the building material which has been removed from the ground since the time of the Roman Empire, and which dominates the landscape there. The characteristically cropped perspective provides a view of the broken layers of rock, turning the quarry into a sort of monumental sculpture in itself as a commercial supplier of the raw materials used for sacred construction. In doing so, the artist builds a metaphorical bridge to the history of sacred art and architecture.
