Die Gestalttheorie

Tristan Bagot

Gestalt psychology or gestaltism is a theory of mind and brain of the Berlin School; the operational principle of gestalt psychology is that the brain is holistic, parallel, and analog, with self-organizing tendencies. The principle maintains that the human eye sees objects in their entirety before perceiving their individual parts, suggesting the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. the gestalt effect is the form-generating capability of our senses, particularly with respect to the visual recognition of figures and whole forms instead of just a collection of simple lines and curves. The 70 pictures herein have been taken between the year 2011 and 2014 in the cities of Berlin, Paris, Barcelona, Rotterdam, and on the French Riviera.
