Till Brönner: MELTING POTT
MELTING POTT - Photographs of people, machines and how they interact above and below ground
Jazz musician Till Brönner has also made a name for himself as a photographer. A few years ago, he travelled through the Ruhr area, capturing images of the former mining and industrial region. His pictures show miners with coal-smeared faces at the end of their shift and smoking chimneys towering into the sky, bathed in an unreal yellow light. A selection of Brönner’s works can be seen in the KohleWelt, a museum dedicated to Saxony’s coal mining industry. Formerly part of a coal mine, its buildings now stand as contemporary witnesses to that era, reminding us that the industrialisation of Saxony would have been almost impossible without coal.
