»Andreas Winkler photographs nuclear power plants – as sculptures, as architecture, as part of the landscape, as an element of European life. Only the non-essential parts of the whole are visible: cooling towers, transformer substations, administration buildings and streets with vehicles. These are in turn so ordinary that it is only in their interplay that they become recognizable as a nuclear power plant – a classical convention, and in visual terms, a canon.« (R. Sachsse)
