  • Catalogue Essay

    'Irritation of the perception and awakening the fantasy or imagination of the beholder is my aim.'
    Axel Hütte

    This poetic image of reflections in water was taken by Axel Hütte during his travels across Europe, Australia and South America in the late 1990s. His methods of cropping and framing strip the image of any context, resulting in a landscape that appears both timeless and placeless.
