Susanne Wegner: Landscapes
In times of ecological enlightenment pictures showing romantic
landscapes provoke a strong notion of kitsch. Nevertheless,
Stuttgart photographer Susanne Wegner is able to celebrate rough
countryside landscapes in superb compositions without romanticizing
them.
Instead of rose-colored glasses she looks through moorbrownlichengreen
glasses. With the artistic freedom of a painter she uses the
options supplied by digital picture editing: Colours, contrasts,
saturation, darknesses. What emerges are high-precision though
not documentary images that are located on the threshold of
imagination and reproduction.
In the end it is the playfulness between concept and the remnants
of reality that produce these contemporary landscapes. Because,
when looking closely, there are practically no landscapes left
on earth that don’t show spoors left by Homo sapiens.
Our fingerprints are everywhere. This finding is almost as sombre
as the atmosphere in Susanne Wegner’s pictures.
