DANIEL FUCHS (Alzenau ,1966); GEO FUCHS (Frankfurt am Main, 1969). "Conserving Series - Untitled-", 1999. Cprint Diasec, edition 2/4. Measurements: 60 x 80 cm. Daniel Fuchs and Geo Fuchs are a couple of artists who are known for their series of conceptual photographs in numerous international exhibitions. In 1992, Daniel and Geo Fuchs began their joint photographic work. From the beginning, they focused on producing series of photographs with a strong conceptual approach. The prerequisite for their work is an intensive analysis of the chosen subject; the production of a series usually takes several months or even years of research, material gathering, image selection and testing. From an art historical perspective, his work belongs to conceptual art; objectivity, staging and a great deal of detail. Initially, until about 1996, the artist duo's interest was concentrated on themes such as 'Homelessness', 'Trans-Sexuality' and 'Mental Illness'. Until 2008, Daniel and Geo Fuchs worked mainly with tripod and large-format camera, a relatively slow and time-consuming process. In 2009, with the advent of new media, the artist duo began experimenting with digital techniques.
