I Wanted To See The World - Softcover
Jessica Backhaus is that rare photographer today who can capture nuances of everyday life in combination with a sensational feeling for color. Within all three of her published series, Jesus and the Cherries, What Still Remains, and One Day in November (Kehrer Verlag, 2005 and 2008), we witness the most subtle, yet vibrant use of color as it reflects off surfaces or embraces people. In her most recent series I Wanted To See The World, we are totally immersed in her rippling colors as we see both the natural world and man-made structures in reflection on the surface of rivers and lakes.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Jessica Backhaus ist eine der seltenen Fotografinnen, denen es gelingt, Nuancen des Alltags mit ihrer Kamera zu erfassen und dabei ein unglaubliches Gespür für Farbe zu beweisen. Bereits in ihren drei veröffentlichten Serien Jesus and the Cherries, One Day in November und What Still Remains (Kehrer 2005 und 2008) fällt der subtile, doch lebhafte Einsatz von Farbe auf - sei es als eine Reflexion auf einer Oberfläche, sei es, dass sie Menschen und Interieurs umhüllt und erfüllt. Immer dient die Farbe dem Gegenstand von Backhaus' Bildern und sie erfasst die Welt um sie herum mit großer Sensibitität und Präzision.In ihrer jüngsten Serie I Wanted To See The World tauchen wir nun vollkommen ein in ihre schillernden Farben, wenn wir zugleich natürliche und von Menschen gemachte Strukturen im Spiegel von Wasseroberflächen sehen. Besonders die Arbeiten aus Venedig bieten eine faszinierende Palette von sanften Orange-, bleichen Gelb- und irritierenden Grautönen.Jessica Backhaus' (\*1970) Fotografien wurden in zahlreichen Ausstellungen gezeigt, darunter die National Portrait Gallery, London, und der Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin, und sind in Sammlungen wie der Art Collection Deutsche Börse, ING Art Collection, Belgien, und Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung, München, vertreten.
