Christian Diehl
1m³ - Acker
For his project 1m³, Christian Diehl repeatedly always cuts out one cubic metre of a specific kind of soil, then analyses and isolates the different components of the sample – plants, animals, stones. In the clinical surroundings of the studio he photographs these elements in an objective manner. In addition to cubic metres of intertidal mudflat and woodland ground, Diehl also recorded the agricultural soil of the German town of Schöppingen, lying in the western part of Münsterland, in this manner. Better than 90% of the area of this community consists of arable fields.
Christian Diehl (West Germany, 1970) has worked as a photographer since 1989, and studied photography at the Hogeschool at Dortmund from 1995 to 2002. His work has been in exhibitions throughout Germany. Diehl is an instructor in photography at the Hogeschool at Münster.
