Creating enigmas and telling stories, imagination and nostalgia, the processual and the playful, deconstruction and a new historicism - postmodernism revolutionized not just architecture but also design and its pictorial strategies.With changing the language of photography, Tom Vack has prevailed over object product photography and played a decisive role in these new forms of expression and communication. His oeuvre not only reads like a Who's Who of the international design scene since the 1980s but also reflects its globalization today. Tom Vack's creative beginnings fall under the golden age of postmodernism. Factors such as naivete and subconscious memories are introduced in his photographs, and he experiments with cinematic effects and strong effects of light and shade. With his experiments he has left the credo of classical object and product photography and today creates expressive, atmospherically dense compositions that give a sense of their stories - subjective, dramatic, poetic.Selected designers and brands include: Michele De Lucchi, Philippe Starck, Ron Arad, Marc Newson, Ettore Sottsass, Alessandro Mendini, Massimo Iosa Ghini, Toshiyuki Kita, Satyendra Pakhalé, Luigi Colani, Ingo Maurer, Driade, Belux, Magis, Vitra, Nils Holger Moormann, Flos, Kartell, Leica, Audi.Text in English, German and Italian.
