Chris Sedlaczek (*1965, Vienna, Austria) produces elaborate photographs in limited editions and conceptual artworks. Chris invites you to join him on his journeys into nature. His works establish a link between the landscape’s reality and his perception and imagination. All works focus on the intimate beauty of thoughts surrounding our real existence. By applying the abstraction of his vision, Chris creates intense personal moments.
Masterfully curated by means of light, subtle shadows and color, infinite details are drawing the viewer's attention. Distant and near fractions are mounted together, traces of shadows are brought to light to finally represent his imagination of the recorded scenery.
