Working method

Jürgen Lecher is best known for his collages , which he puts together from several individual photos framed in black glass-aluminum frames. Similar to stitching , he composes his panoramas from up to 9 × 7 individual black and white photos printed in silver gelatine on baryta paper. In doing so, he consciously changes the camera angle from a constant recording location in such a way that falling lines occur by remaining in place and turning around himself.
