Rathaus Photograph - Limited Edition of 1

This work was taken on the 'St Alban Rheinweg' in Basel, Switzerland last summer (2015), of the Town Hall (the Rathaus). 'Rathaus' literally means 'town hall', however the term 'Roothus' in the local Basel German dialect means both 'town hall' while also sounding like the Germanic phrase for 'red house'; a pun with reference to the red sandstone facade of the building. I love this shot of the 'Red House' due to the multitudes of hues from deep reds to purples that were captured. It is an incredible example of how many colours can be found on surfaces which we think are singularly one colour: here, red. The lamp is a beautiful detail nearly swamped by the bold red surface it protrudes from, but here is given quite a presence. I find peace in this image, which is unusual given how violent the red can feel in places. I find it a beautiful image to meditate in front of, and find quiet in the colours. I hope other viewers do too. Lambda print on Fuji Crystal Archive DP ll, glossy. Image size: 29.7 x 42 cm; Outer size: 39.7 x 52 cm, print has a 5 cm white border.
