Georg Brückmann, born in 1977 in Frankfurt am Main, lives and works in Leipzig. He studied photography at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig and graduated as a master student in 2012.
Brückmann works with a philosophical perspective, searches for and finds patterns, connections and cycles, uncovers possibilities and impossibilities.
In his studio, he implements his artistic vision by constructing entire scenes out of furniture and everyday objects, sometimes installing life-size rooms. His photography shows that the recognition of the motif is limited: only from a single perspective, on a specific axis of vision, do the individual objects come together in front of his camera to form an image that we logically perceive as a motif.
MacGuffin, 2020
For the work MacGuffin I construct scenery from Alfred Hitchcock films. The reconstructed backdrops are photographed in great detail.
The coining of the term MacGuffin is attributed to Hitchcock and stands for more or less arbitrary objects or persons that trigger or advance the plot in a film.

Margarethe Stonborough Wittgenstein commissioned the architect Paul Engelmann to build a representative city villa in Vienna in 1925. From 1926, her brother, the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, joined in the design process and took over most of the planning.
After almost four years of construction, the Wittgenstein House was occupied by Margarethe and her family as well as numerous servants at the end of 1928. Their guests included practically the entire Viennese cultural society of the time. With the exception of a 7-year exile in the USA, Margarethe lived in Haus Wittgenstein until her death in 1958. Ludwig Wittgenstein planned the house between his two main philosophical works, whose theories are unmistakably reflected in the architecture.
In this sense, the Wittgenstein House is a philosophy that has become a house.
