SEAMOTION is a fascinating long-term project by German photographer Herbert Böttcher. In this project, he portrays the monumental ships with his unmistakable emotional visual language. The images by photographer Herbert Böttcher reveal to the viewer the sheer size, but also the monumentality and hidden beauty of the container giants. He portrays them not from land, but from on board. In the pure and sculptural, almost cubist aesthetic of his pictures, the steel giants seem to rest motionless and static, while the waves crash around them and the land passes them by. Although we come into contact with huge quantities of goods and products that are traded worldwide every day, it is difficult to visualise the global flow of goods: At least the gigantic container ships, whose lines form the lifelines of the commodity economy, give a first impression of the enormous dimensions of international trade. DE SEAMOTION ist ein faszinierendes Langzeitprojekt des deutschen Fotografen Herbert Böttcher. In diesem Projekt porträtiert er die monumentalen Schiffe mit seiner unverwechselbaren emotionalen Bildsprache. Die Bilder des Fotografen Herbert Böttcher erschließen dem Betrachter die schiere Größe, aber auch die Monumentalität und verborgene Schönheit der Containerriesen. Er porträtiert sie nicht von Land aus, sondern von Bord aus. In der reinen und skulpturalen, fast kubistischen Ästhetik seiner Bilder scheinen die stählernen Giganten regungslos und statisch zu ruhen, während um sie herum die Wellen rauschen und das Land an ihnen vorbeizieht. Obwohl wir täglich mit riesigen Mengen von Waren und Produkten in Berührung kommen, die weltweit gehandelt werden, ist es schwierig, sich die globalen Warenströme vorzustellen: Zumindest die gigantischen Containerschiffe, deren Linien die Lebensadern der Warenwirtschaft bilden, vermitteln einen ersten Eindruck von den gewaltigen Dimensionen des internationalen Handels.

To express these inner landscapes is my motivation as a photographer“, Herbert Böttcher. Herbert Böttcher was born in Rietberg (Germany) in 1962.
