anSCHEIN (Semblance) by Miriam Bräutigam

The inspiration for anSCHEIN (Semblance) was the sun shining through the old glass windows of Miriam Bräutigam’s study, drawing shadows of objects on the curtains. The position of the sun, the incidence of light and the translucency of objects on the windowsill had very different effects that fascinated the photographer, who began to experiment with compositions of everyday objects illuminated by the sun. The resulting photographs elevate the individual objects into something surreal, mystical and mysterious, inviting the viewer to ask: what is behind it all?
