The
Spirit of Man
Good
photos are special because of the time that they give us. They allow
us the luxury of seeing through the eyes of somebody else, and they
give us the pleasure of stepping into feelings and places that we
would never normally see. And, Dorothea Nahler's latest exhibition
is not only a collection of worlds, but elements, too!
Cleverly
using the elements of water, energy and air, Dorothea
has brilliantly produced a series of pictures. And, they are not
only special, but inviting as well. And, the best one can do
is to follow the pull of these photos, climb inside and wander around
and experience the energy they offer. And, of course,
energy is water and water is life. And, whether flowing or
snow, there's plenty to see in Dorothea's pictures. And, one has to
go with the current!
And,
the current of the Donau Kanal which flows through the heart of
Vienna is very much a part of my favourite picture. There's a ship,
there's water, And a promenade with people and graffiti. In other
words, a picture of full pulsating urban Viennese life. And
this is our element. We are life. And, this is Dorothea's speciality.
And,
her work isn't only people. She's also a master in the art of still
life photography as well. But, whatever her subjects, be they the
mountains of her childhood in Styria or the streets of Vienna, she
has an eye for that which is good, and that's why her pictures are
great. They are the spirit of man!
If
you are in Vienna, take some time out and visit Dorothea's
exhibition. It's on at the VHS in Hietzing. But, please hurry –
there's not much time left! Full details,-
