Landscape nominee

My artistic approach in photography evokes almost always essay-like series: like an astonished child I explore the emanations of the visible world through my camera, moving around people, places, things in an ongoing investigation and endless effort to grasp. The glacial lagoon called Jökulsárlón in the South of Iceland shows different shades of blue ice due to a selective absorption of all colors except blue caused by the low amount of airbubbles enclosed in the ice. This scientific knowledge adds to the impressive calm of a landscape in sharp contrast to the permanent threat by volcanic activity, ready to show its power to shape the world anew.

Ursula Stiglitz lives and works in Vienna.
After Master Studies for Architecture she developed her artistic view through Art and Photography Studies. Aside from conventional photography her work covers a wide range of photographic modes of expression as expandable substructures for the implementation of a creative process. The photo, the film serve as raw materials for her conceptual perception.
The artist explores the essence of objects, the interaction of civilization and nature, examines urban surroundings, completed by self-reflexive works.
