Josef Schulz is a photographer of Polish descent who has chosen a rather unusual niche for his work. The photographs of the 48-year-old man are mainly associated with man-made objects around the world. But his images are not so simple as they seem at first glance.
Using digital manipulations in various image editors, Joseph Schulz turns his photographs into familiar, but still otherworldly scenes. He transforms shots, removing typography from commercial signs and moving urban architecture from a cluttered environment to a bare background.
During his Übergang project, the photographer went on a long trip to Europe. He photographed abandoned military and national checkpoints. Then, in order to neutralize the original context of the images, Schultz slightly blurred the backgrounds of the pictures, which created the impression that the frames were taken in another era.
