ANDREAS GEFELLER: CLOUDS PORTFOLIO

We are thrilled to share a new limited edition portfolio of 6 images from Gefeller’s recent series Clouds.

Beautiful and threatening at the same time, Gefeller’s Clouds are formations of condensed steam coming out of the cooling tower of a coal plant which he then manipulates and takes out of context in his typical blending of documentation and construction.

A clear break from Gefeller’s usual technique of combining hundreds of shots into one final picture, these images are the result of a single shot, recording a quick, transient phenomenon – a form that only exists for a second. At the same time material and transparent, Clouds are a perfect synthesis of Gefeller’s quest for visualisation of the invisible and manipulation of perception.

“Biblical motifs or evidence of man-made global warming? The Clouds series is both: a document of human creativity and relentless exploitation” (Gefeller).

Details of the portfolio are as follows:
