Summary
From the helicopter, Bernd Uhde photographs the world in a vertical plan view. The purity of untouched nature is not the main thread in his enthralling repertoire of motifs - but rather the cultural landscape developed and designed by man. Therefore, coal tips, ore dumps and spoil piles compose the leitmotifs of the photographs compiled in this album, gleaming with a fascinating presence against black backgrounds. All groups of works reflect the artist?s interest in shapes and colors, in structures and textures and in the funda-mental principles of composition. And for this exact rea-son, Bernd Uhde's photographic position has repeatedly been compared to a painter's view - and justifiably so. His artistic œuvre is characterized by the talent of discovering the unusual and mysterious and at the same time highly sensuous facets of a place by looking at it from a vertical view. The artist discovers scenic "paintings" and the aesthetic potential of these visual finds is only unleashed and only reveals itself through the abstracted view from the distance.
