The Collection

The Strangelove Collection holds several thousand original vintage photographs from the nuclear and space age. What follows are individual strains drawn from that archive — closer readings of a period, a motif, or a question the material keeps returning to, developed over time by artist Peter Voigt. Each story below is a partial cut through something much larger: an ongoing project, not a finished survey. New strains are added as they take shape.
Working with the collection feels somewhat like deep diving into a „dark well“.
