“With my architectural photography, I am on the search for the aesthetic qualities of buildings in their urban spatial effect. Above all, I am interested in the visual richness of detail in its compositional diversity and its strangeness. The most unadulterated, neutral documentation of buildings for sales and presentation purposes is not part of my work, nor is the creation of marketable references for architectural firms. Nor are they photographs that depict a building in its ideal state to increase the market value of the building in question. With my very own passion for...

Buildings are not static objects with five facades, four side walls and the roof. They are lively, dynamic sculptures. The windows are their eyes, that reveal a part of their soul. The open doors are talking with us, inviting us to come in, to hear their inner stories. And the graphic layout of bricks, of glass, of wood or whatever the genuine architects create are their eye-catching clothes, which make our cities, our urban spaces more beautiful, more vibrant.

Maybe it’s a good thing that the modern viewer’s eye is forced to jump back and forth on the screen so often, because otherwise it would drown in the permanent optical flood. Of course, that would be more of a drowning in the shallow, in the visually foamy, which replaces depth with uniform and digitally sugar-coated aesthetics. Michael Nguyen’s pictures are different: With his photographs, he manages to give the eyes a reason to linger, “by creating clarity in vision and a challenge in interpretation through reduction and emphasis,” as Rainer Funke,...

After film, television, and computers, the smartphone in particular has catapulted us into a new image age. Often the challenge is to give the eyes an occasion to linger between their unsteady jumps from image to image. Michael Nguyen succeeds excellently in creating such an occasion with his photographs...
