The colorful studies of form and light in Plein Soleil by Jessica Backhaus are the logical continuation of a previous project, the Cut Outs from 2021. Powerful, direct sunlight hits colored, transparent paper and using a complex visual language, the photographer documents how the paper reacts to the intense heat, deforms, bends and creates hard shadows. The images in Plein Soleil are even more strict and uncompromising than those in the previous project. With Plein Soleil, Jessica Backhaus explores the photographic possibilities of abstraction-she crosses the line between documentary photography and poetic, intuitive color composition.
Jessica Backhaus (* 1970) is considered one of the most important voices in contemporary photography from Germany. With Plein Soleil, Kehrer Verlag presents her ninth monograph.
Published as a limited edition of 800 copies.
