Ulrich Gebert

Ulrich Gebert is a tutor at the Department of Art, University of Art and Design Offenbach am Main. His work critically examines the abstracting qualities of photography through historical and philosophical lenses, particularly focusing on the tension between objective and subjective aspects of the medium.

Research interests include:

• Photography’s relationship to reality and perception
• Legacy of New Objectivity in photographic practice
• Philosophical interpretations of the medium (e.g., François Laruelle’s non-photography)
• Phenomenological analysis of photographic 'otherness'

His teaching and projects explore how photography’s unintended 'strange distance' from the world reveals fundamental qualities beyond conventional subject-object frameworks.
