Title: Nocturnes à Giverny
Description: Elger Esser's dreamlike photographs seem to originate in a world long gone, to exude a yearning for lost places. His latest series captures the beauty and the magic of Claude Monet's famous garden in Giverny. Interestingly enough, Esser portrays the plants and ponds in mostly black-and-white pictures taken at night or at dawn, oscillating between reality and illusion, the past and the present. Exhibition: Landesmuseum Bonn, Germany / Landesmuseum Oldenburg (7.7.-30.9.2012).
