In his photographic work, Urs Tilman Daun primarily questions the spatial and temporal movement of people and objects. Time and again, the themes he explores in his work concern an escape from reality, artificial worlds, and a nostalgic indulgence in a better past. In his practically orientated Diplom project Fluchtwelten – Konstruktionen der Wirklichkeit he initially examined decorative elements and their effect on the viewer. In the course of the photographic process, Urs Tilman Daun immersed himself ever deeper into otherwise unseen worlds. The outcome was a photographic tetraptych, a four-part set of works consisting of 40 analogue colour photographs and a photo book (black and white).
