The painter Günther Förg devoted himself to sculpture and photography in the 1980s. In an interview with the artist and writer David Ryan, he draws a direct connection between his large-format portraits, his sculptures and architectural photography: «The connection is viewing the photograph as almost sculptural relief, the scale gives it an architectural dimension; they are readable as being beyond portrait scale. It's like a close-up, the same with the architecture; in fact I see them both as a kind of architectural photograph... yet they can also be seen in an emotional way, expressionistic even.» Günter Förg in: David Ryan, Talking Painting, London 2002, Link.
