This is also true of my involvement with Japanese gardens, bonsai, and many years of co-operation with people from this field of work. The spirit of Wabi-Sabi has changed my perception of the world on a long-term basis. The view of the world and its things, the feeling of Wabi-Sabi – actually comprehensible to everyone – was especially perfected in Japan. Even if Wabi-Sabi – which is characterised by the contemplation of aesthetics, attitude of mind, and classification of material qualities – has its origins in Japan where the people are very experienced in this level of feeling, the spirit of Wabi-Sabi can nevertheless be felt and comprehended by us in the western world. Wabi-Sabi has its origins in Zen Buddhism and the tea ceremony. In my project “Gardens of Wabi and Sabi”, and with the aid of pictures, I have transported this ‘seeing and feeling’ and made it accessible to the viewer. _ A "ready to hang" version is available. Perfectly mounted in a wooden frame of manual production, either cream white (RAL 9001) or graphite black (RAL 9011) with acrylic glass "UV 100" as front.

Helmut Rüger is a German artist, living and working in the Greater Frankfurt area. First trained as a banker, in the following years he established an imports company trading with japanese art and decoration products. Over time he gradually transitioned from business into art and photography. Initially mainly documenting art and japanese garden design for editorials. While running a photostudio in the 90s he continued to travel frequently to far east. Far more than 50 journeys to Japan had a considerable influence on his view of life. Especially his perception on objects and their aesthetic presence gradually changed and he developed an understanding for Tanisaki`s motivation to write the essay on japanese aesthetics „In the praise of shadows“. When he was asked once why he engages in photography and his motivation of creating specific series he stated: "I photograph the feeling which moves me when I view something". As a quiet, introverted person he is able to watch things and scenes and absorbe their energy. To exchange his experiences and feelings with others, photography is the appropriate medium. At best an emotinal accordance araises with the viewer. Helmut Rüger`s work is held in numerous private collections internationally as well as in corporate collections.
