The deeply poetic images of Kathrin Linkersdorff are inspired by the Japanese Wabi-Sabi philosophy, which emphasises the beauty of the imperfect and transient. The images of the Fairies series, presented here comprehensively for the first time, hold fading moments of transience in the greatest possible finesse. Between the appearance of old-master still-life or vanitas painting and cool, dissecting abstraction, they develop a mysterious fascination. Kathrin Linkersdorff (*1966 in Berlin) is one of the most singular voices in contemporary photography.
