Pure Photography - Lightscapes
Images from the series "Lightscapes" of my project "Pure Photography": Photography is "drawing with light". Pure photography means that the light itself creates an abstract image on a light-sensitive medium (film or camera chip) without beeing affected by a subject from the human world of experience or, as the Bauhaus Master L. Moholy-Nagy wrote in 1927, the light-sensitive plate fixes the light modelled by mirrors, lenses or transparent crystals etc. - In this abstract microphotographic project the aim is not the imaging of an object, but rather an optically active sample (pinhole, slit, grating, opaque stop, spherical lens etc.) is used to modulate the light beam normally used to create a magnified image of a microscopic object. In my project "Pure Photography" I make use of the physics of light and of light microscopy to open a new abstract photographic image world.
