Maximilian Brunn is a Berlin-based artist who combines analog photographic techniques with a conceptual approach. From a philosophically agnostic perspective, he selects subjects that float in an undefinable space between past, present, and future embodying the notion of timelessness or infinity.

​

Brunn works exclusively with an 8×10-inch large-format camera and produces platinum-based prints on ultra-thin, handmade Japanese paper through a time-intensive process. The Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto is among the key influences on his work. During a five-year stay in Japan, Brunn trained as a photographer and assisted, among others, architectural photographer Peter M. Cook in Tokyo.

​

His work has been exhibited at the 2023 Month of Photography in St. Thomas Church, Berlin-Kreuzberg, and in 2024 at Culterim Gallery Berlin. In 2025, the catalog for the exhibition “Artificial Romanticism” was published. His latest exhibition "The Shimmer of Time" took place at the photography Gallery Atelier Kirchner accompanied by a catalogue.
