All buildings submitted here have been photographed in six gentrified, previously industrial, inner Melbourne suburbs, at or just before the Australian sunrise. The pleasing light at dawn on industrial buildings demonstrates the hidden beauty of otherwise dilapidated structures. The project aims at crating archeological evidence of the history and ephemeral nature of Melbourne's industries and their architecture. The buildings are transitioning or have transitioned. Their original robust build and presence seems short-lived in the changing tides of time.
Wolf Nitschke is a French-German photographer based in Paris with a design and architecture and interiors background. Working across editorial, commercial and fine art projects, Wolf's defining attention to detail is a result of his design training and unique eye for art direction and composition.
With a highly considered approach to his art practice, Nitch’s work is recognisable for its clarity and distinct depth of emotion, documenting the complex relationship between humans and nature, urbanism and social fabrics, and architectural design practices.
