About the workIt is only at second glance that the architecture of the church building emerges from the urban scenery. Petra Wunderlich shows the sacred building from a distance, embedded in its surroundings between residential buildings. A large part of the façade remains hidden. Wunderlich emphasises the architectural design of the buildings in her cityscapes. The depiction in shades of grey underlines the interwoven nature of urban architecture and, in its objectivity, bears witness to the influence of Bernd Becher and his wife Hilla, with whom Wunderlich studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy.
