Jessica Backhaus

Více o knize

The series "Plein Soleil" by Jessica Backhaus showcases intense studies of form and light, continuing her exploration from the 2021 project "Cut Outs." Utilizing powerful sunlight and colored paper, she captures the paper's reactions to heat, resulting in striking images that emphasize deformation and shadow. This new collection is characterized by its stricter and more uncompromising aesthetic, blurring the lines between documentary photography and poetic color abstraction. Backhaus, a prominent figure in contemporary German photography, presents her ninth monograph in a limited edition of 800 copies.
