ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Water surfaces have a special property: they reflect part of the light that strikes from above and they are permeable to the light that comes from below. That is why when we look at the water surface of a forest pond we often see two images: the reflection of trees and sky, and the pond floor with its brown leaves. These two images are superimposed. You can always see the lighter part of both. In addition, there is a third layer of the image of the objects floating on the water - leaves, aquatic plants, etc. The series “Imaginary forests” plays with these three levels. The surreal impression is reinforced by the fact that I have turned the pictures upside down. As a result, the mirrored trees appear upright and cannot be seen as mirror images. Our brain interprets them as real trees, leaves seem to float in the air and tree trunks are covered with brown leaves. The picture is offered as a fineart print on photo rag paper in the size 40 x 60 cm. Larger formats and canvas are possible (request at saatchiart).

I live in a small village in Schleswig-Holstein (Germany) 12 km from the Baltic Sea and spend many hours by the sea or in beautiful “Holstein Switzerland”. My photographic interest is in the wonders and beauties of nature that have to do with physics in the broadest sense. With that I move in the field of tension between aesthetics, art and science. The physical gaze draws attention to astonishing phenomena that otherwise remain easily hidden because of their "inconspicuousness", such as the colors of spider webs, the colors of the sea or fata morgana effects on the horizon. Explanation and scientific-historical classification of phenomena lead to a deeper experience for me. I would like to share this happiness with others through my photos and explanations. I used many of my nature photos in schoolclass and experienced how children and young people who were rather negative about physics found access to physics. The photos have also been incorporated into school books and teacher training lectures. Now, after my retirement, I have intensified my preoccupation with photos and I am making it public with exhibitions and on social media.
