'The Japan Series' by Andreas Gefeller | Düsseldorf (GER)

A key principle of art is the possibility of changing one’s view upon reality, to heighten awareness and broaden our perception of a supposedly understand reality. The photography in ‘The Japan Series’ by Düsseldorf-based photographer Andreas Gefeller certainly allows us to view his alternative vision on Japan’s urban infrastructure: the utility wire. With a humble yet stunning outcome, the striking abstract photographs of Japan’s digital assemblage, poles, innumerable cables and current transformers offer sophisticated order.

The monochrome background lets the eye focus on the acuity of lines that run, cross and inter-connect with other resulting in a fresh, clinical image. Certainly a new perspective, ‘The Japan Series’ is available at The Open Eye Gallery. For further information on the book by Andreas Gefeller and his other work explore his website.
