Heads, Shifting

The heads stand in Berlin 6 metres high and appear to gaze over the square. They are moving. Very slowly they change their expression, their position in relation to one another, and thus their effect on the surroundings. Changes on the mostly impassive faces are caused by small, subtle movements – occasionally the form of each head dissolves, becoming a sculptural structure whose surface can only be seen as an abstract form which eventually returns to its original starting position. Due to the almost endless number of possible combinations within each head (and between the two heads).

Steffen Reichardt was born in Magdeburg in 1976 and moved to Cottbus in April 2017. He experiences the fascinating world of photography again and again when traveling, as well as on trekking and mountain bike tours lasting several days. The camera is his companion on these journeys. His favorite stylistic devices such as long exposure and creative image editing are expressed in his photographs. The photographic range includes landscape, architectural and digital art photography, with the viewer easily noticing his minimalist image compositions.
