From the essay by Gianni Jetzer: "The pictures Jules Spinatsch takes have multiple meanings. They contain reality and also what is hidden beneath it. You invent them and they reflect you. You find them and, in their openness, they seek you. Embracing high-rise buildings. LOVE scratched on the skin of the city. Two chairs wrestling with each other in reunited Berlin. A lonely bottle. The high-rise is sweating. In obvious contrast to the man in the air-conditioned limo, a Chaplinesque hint of Hitler on his face. Fish on tour. A snow cannon as a monument. Hardened concrete stars flowing. Materials touch. Clouds. Airplanes. Bright. Jules Spinatsch fills his camera with pictures of life, like a botanist filling his herbarium, and then pours them out again as a river of color. Many of these shots (especially by night) shine in their chomatographic wetness like mirrored brake lights after a downpour."
