poetry of silence XXVI (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Since 2018, Liechtenstein photographer Roland Blum has been travelling to Southwest Africa on a recurring basis,directing his camera lens from a helicopter at the structures and shapes of the fascinating Namib Desert in Namibia. Blum flies directly along the edge of the fog with his telephoto lens, and as he does so he is drawn deep into the breathtakingly archaic world of the Namib again and again. It is there that the quiet poetry of his large-format photographs emerges.Blum’s visual language is that of a light painter – and thus his work is pure photography in the most original sense of the word.
