The Grand Ducal Palace is the official residence of the Grand
Duke of Luxembourg, and where he performs most of his duties
as head of state of the Grand Duchy. As the official residence of
the Grand Duke, the palace is used by him in the exercise of his
official functions.
In this series I want to show another view of the Grand Ducal
Palace in Luxembourg City. My intension was to demonstrate
the irony of everyday life around the palace among ordinary
people.
Georg Worecki was born 1961 in Düsseldorf/Germany. After studying history of art & architecture, german language & literature, he was trained as a director. Since 1999 he is working as a freelance photographer.
"To trace the immediacy of strangeness, the spell of otherness, to visualize the unexpected, is an act of deliverance from the noise of the daily grind. Essentially I make the attempt to project the secret of life onto a screen."
