The exhibition does not omit Maier’s film experiences, also close to the cinematographic language, whereby the use of its Rolleiflex camera with the Super 8 camera is varied. His beloved children from whom he captures the innocence and emotional intensity make way for the abstract, for the irreal. Objects and details are observed with such intensity that their contours seem to disappear, which reveal poetic images, an expression of Maier’s extraordinary ability to quickly compose photos full of small peculiarities and thin visual games.
