Küppersmühle, an industrial mill in the port of Duisburg, Germany, has been converted into a museum. It now displays a great collection of modern and contemporary art. But I never really get to enjoy the art in full because the museum now features two beautiful staircases which are themselves works of art – and they are very distracting!
With some of the old silos still standing, you get a strong industrial vibe while the building also frames the art nicely.
But I compulsively return to the stairs…
The architecture just lends itself to this kind of abstract photography I so much like – using built space for compositions within the rectangualr space of the picture. And I think the pictures lend themselves to contributing to Anne’s wonderful lens artists challenge #251: Buildings and Other Structures. Oh, and here’s one other structure, a work of art nicely interacting with the architecture.

I love them all, Tobias. I agree, the stairs are a fun subject. Your captures with the lighting brings wonder. Art indeed.
Thank you very much! This means a lot to me.
You are welcome
Great perspectives. Excellent.
Thanks, John!
You have some wonderful angles there, Tobias. I felt quite giddy looking up.
Oh yeah, these angles… Glad you like them, Jo. Thanks!
😀💗
Amazing photos Tobias. Those staircases are certainly works of art. And the angles at which you shot the buildings were terrific. Well done!
Thanks Anne! It always takes me some effort to capture architecture, and I hadn’t done it in a while.
A wonderful post Tobias. I agree with you on the way the building itself moves one to the lines of the structure as well as the art. Terrific idea beautifully executed.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment, Tina! And I am glad you enjoyed this post.
