VERENA GUTHER
ARTWORKS
Abbildungen: © Verena Guther
The internationally active artistic photographer Verena Guther has been traveling around mayor cities, such as New York, Paris, Berlin, Shanghai or Istanbul, for years. During her travels, she captures her very individual perception of these places with her camera. Especially her post-editing of the photographies makes this very much apparent, since Guther creates photomontages, which represent an interplay between photography, photo- collage and painterly elements. Yet, her unique working process is more than a simple documentation of urban landscapes. The bright colours and extraordinary motives of her added element clearly stand out and are conductive to the very special effect of the works. Guther asks the viewer to look at already know cities from a new perspective and to engage with this new point of view. However, the focus of her works lies not only on the urban scenery, but also on the people. Whereby, her new photographic series shows a playfully dancing group of girls that seems to merge with nature.
