Beatrix Echt - Photography

until Feb 24th, 2018

Art for me is a valve for my frustration about the negative effects of human being although these aspects are shown at the second view. Nature subjects are therefore often placed in my work. I'm playing with the senses, with the medium of photography, with my ideas. At the end pictures look different from what I've imagined or planed at the beginning. When I'm doing, things are changing, new ideas grow up, new elements become important and lightning will be verified. So I'm playing with the possibilities of "light-painting" in its origin way.

Analog photos are combined and mixed with digital photos, scans and others, the mixture will be photographed once again, edit again…
I'm not afraid of modern picture manipulations and manner of presentations - everything will be used if it seems to be adequate. Sometimes the finished pics are edited with paint, scalpel or paper once again to set new accents. Some photos are rarely edited, some composings are heavy reworked, so that the origin cannot be detected.

For me there are no limits beside the contentual principles of moral understanding. According to the motto of Pablo Picasso "The mystery of art is not the searching, it is the finding" I'm restarting every day to play, to discover, to wonder and to process... I'm a creative lightpainter.
