Structures and systems of order are the predominant themes of Berlin based artist Menno Aden, known for his cartographic photographic works. Aden's photo series deal topographically and analytically with our built environment.
The photographs of various gym floors look like constructivist paintings. Aden photographed Berlin gyms in which refugees had been provisionally housed. Against the backdrop of the so-called "refugee crisis", the colorful markings of different play systems that exist side by side without touching each other, or round lids that are twisted against each other in playful carelessness, become metaphors of human coexistence.
