codex nautica#2 - Limited Edition of 9 Photograph

Photography from my series "codex nautica". Taken in 2020 with the camera obscura naturalis. Limited vintage print. The photography is masterfully printed on baryt paper. A white border of 3 cm is obligatory. Embossed stamp in the lower white border, on the right with the individual limitation number. Signed by the artist on the back of the photograph. Leonardo da Vinci described the camera obscura. The painters Vermeer and Canaletto used the camera obscura for their preliminary drawings. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and many early artists made observations of nature with her. The first permanent photograph in the world was made with her. The camera obscura has always inspired people and redefined the perception of nature. The series "codex nautica", consisting of 35 photograph, photographed with a lensless camera obscura naturalis, see themselves entirely in this tradition. The focus here is not on the absolute realism of the image, but on the viewer's perception of a mystical, almost magical aura. This is intensified by the blurring caused by the camera, but also by the little light available, which makes places, objects and living beings shine in a strange light. The long time of exposure does the rest. Photographs are created that are different and tempt one to get involved with the situation in thought. A lot of space for your own fantasy and scope for interpretation, included.
