A room opens itself – or better expressed: rooms open themselves, because the borders of the room do not always stay the same. Thanks to unusual perspectives and reflections, edges appear blurry at times, distinct at others. Up and down, right and left, they change places. In this way the room becomes transparent: figures, whose seemingly weightless gestures are frozen in front of the camera, enter the space – as if someone had disrupted their dance.
| At the same time the spaces often seem to glow from within. The green-blue environment is illuminated by a sourceless silver luminescence, creating the impression of another dimension, a kind of world-in-between or parallel universe.
Uwe Steckhan brings this world to life; in his vision the random movements of his models take on meaning. By playing with the dissolution of traditional patterns he captures the enchanting magic that has always excited and inspired him as a photographer. Steckhan captures new dimensions of underwater photography.
