Description

The elements of Astrid Lowack's (*1969) photographic-artistic transcendence are light, movement and water. As the driving forces of life they relentlessly bring about change and reflect our innermost being -our feelings and experiences. Her snapshots remain thereby constant imaginative challenges to human perception.

Astrid Lowack's photographs are experimental mirrors of the emotional world. They visualise consciousness and unconsciousness, abysses and metamorphoses. Our fears and apocalyptic chaos appear in a new perspective, and so does paradisiacal equilibrium. The artist explores unknown ways of thinking and worlds of feeling and immerses herself through her photographic works in the individual experiences of humankind.
