The catalog Tango Metropolis shows the artist's most famous work on collages of iconic architectures and new world wonders. The publication gives a great overview not just of our world's famous architecture. It is also a collection of a unique form of fine art photography collages. The original collages of „dancing“ architecture such as the Brandenburg Gate and Saint Basil's Cathedral are analogous collages of contact sheets with hundreds of pictures. Kellner manages to breathe new life into icons of architecture that probably have been photographed thousands of times. He awakes a previously unknown curiosity which can be observed in children when they open a kinder surprise egg.

An infomative essay about architecture collages

In the trilingual essay (russian original and german and english translation),  Professor Chmyreva explains the term, which was invented by her, for Kellners work of „visual analytical synthesis“. This description hits the nail on the head. Interestingly, Chmyreva refers the terms analytical and synthesis onto his architecture collages and ranges his work with a reference to Cézanne and Signac.

"[He] analyzes — and cognizes — both the optical method of analog photography and the subject matter leaving the latter within the environment and re-establishing its connection with the surrounding space." (Prof. Dr. Irina Chmyreva)
