The James-Simon-Galerie is the central entrance building to Museum Island in Berlin. It was designed by David Chipperfield Architects and inaugurated in 2019. The building is named after one of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin's most famous patrons, James Simon.

Stefan Lindner lives and works in Dresden, Germany. As a graduate engineer for furniture construction, he manufactured furniture in the Bauhaus style for a long time. Their straightness and functionality inspired him as a self-taught photographer since the late 90s to photograph modern architecture. Here it is the clearly structured facades of concrete, steel and glass that inspire him to design the photos in black and white, and in which he also often likes to abstract. In doing so, he tries to find the perspective that emphasizes the uniqueness of the building through detailed planning.
