Description from the seller
This consists of two photos measuring 30x30 cm from my new series Imagine. It is a visual story about an artwork on a beach by the coast, made of round wooden poles. The pole groups are firmly anchored in the sand. Beauty created through order, yet simultaneously a balancing act, on the edge of creation and destruction.
The artwork is part of the dynamic coastal landscape, governed by sea, wind, and tides, where it constantly battles with the elements, temporarily borrowing a piece of the coast, only to ultimately disappear again.
This visual story is about the fishing groups against the backdrop of the ever-present sea. A calm sea, peaceful skies, and wooden poles, waiting for the next confrontation with the elements. Where after high water, around a pole, a beautiful layered pattern remains in the sand or a hole and sometimes a water puddle.
But also about the light shining on the poles and changing with the rising and setting of the sun, the clouds passing by.
This comic is about imagination, seeing the poles during the cycle of seasons, by moonlight, a star-lit sky, part of the infinite universe.
But also about seeing the poles during a storm, with a violently strong sea and clouds hanging menacingly above the beach. Then, the sea and wind torment the anchored poles and put them to the test.
Along the coast, time is a relative concept; here, the sea, sand, and wind relentlessly follow their own timeline. What seems eternal is but a moment here. The artwork remains standing until the sea reclaims the stretch of coast.
Photographs capture what would otherwise remain without memory. A visual story, as tangible proof of existence.
The photos are offered in different formats and editions. The total number of views of the same image will never exceed 30. The photos are printed on Fujifilm Digital Professional DP II Lustre paper with a very fine surface texture, featuring a white border around, making them very suitable and easy to frame.
Both photos are supplied with a certificate of authenticity and a label with the artist's signature on the back of the photo.
The photos are carefully packed in bleached white tissue paper and flatly packed between two layers of cardboard.
Seller's Story
Reality is an endless labyrinth of images. A photo makes a part of it visible and thus allows interaction between photographer and viewer.
My photography starts with an inspiring reality to which I add my imagination. In my head, reality changes into images that I want to capture in photos. Each work is a frozen moment in a story that continues to evolve.
I see beauty in powerful forms of installations and constructions and want to make it visible. I stand still and experience space, infinity, peace and quiet. The subjects and elements are different, but my need is the same, the aesthetic beauty and what I experience, feel and see reveal in photos.
Something is created that was not there before. My photos thus become an extension, but at the same time a part of reality, with my interpretation and perspective added to it, but also my feeling and experience.
Perspective, crop, use of color, disturbing elements that have to disappear. They are all parts of the choice process and means in my photography to create an image as imagined in my head, just as words create a poem and notes form music.
Reality becomes an image, an image becomes a photo, a new part of reality, ready to share with spectators with their own experience. A photo that offers space to connect from your own imagination, emotions and feelings.
Photography is autobiographical, I can't take pictures without being who I am. Each photo is a reflection of how I am and how I think and the result of the process that goes on in my head. With each new image you can see more and more of who I am, but never completely, development continues. Curious about what's to come.
