Pit Buehler's photographs form an atlas of archetypes, a web of roles and masks that shows the stage of life in all its diversity. Clowns, warriors, stars, dancers, drag queens, shamans and outsiders do not appear as individual persons, but as condensations of universal figures that have always defined culture and myth. In the juxtaposition of the series, the personal becomes universal, the momentary timeless. The images emerge like icons: beauty and dignity, vulnerability and transformation, light and shadow combine to form a higher order. The result is a cartographic sketch of existence, a manifesto of the diversity of roles and stories that shape us and outlast us.
