Zwölf

Window Sill, Trogir, Croatia, 9th June – 20th June 2025

A place is never static. It is not an unchanging space, rather an environment that unfolds anew with every change in light, weather and time. Our perception of a place depends not only on its physical characteristics, but also on the conditions that surround it – and on ourselves, our experiences, memories and expectations. A place does not simply exist, it is experienced. A foggy morning can render a familiar landscape unidentifiable, while bright sunshine breaks the same scene down into clear forms. At dusk, boundaries become transparent, while the wind reveals movement. Every glance, every moment allows the place to emerge anew.

This photographic work reveals how influences constantly reinterpret a place. The lighting conditions, the atmospheric conditions and our own perspective shape how we perceive and understand it. Twelve photographs provide an opening towards the photographed subject and at the same time represent a conceptual limitation.

‘Landschaft durch zwölf’ from the work ‘Zwölf’, published by EDITION 502 in 2025.

6 x 9 | 12 Small Photos is an ongoing format by EDITION 502 in which 12 photos in the size of 6 x 9 cm plus an accompanying text are published. Each limited edition presents an exclusive series by one author. The format highlights the publisher’s intersections of art, design, photography and books. 6 x 9 | 12 Small Photos uses an old format that was sold for a few cents as a souvenir in tourist hotspots. By presenting the photographs as loose individual images in a portfolio, this changeability is conveyed. Viewers are not bound to a specific order – they can decide for themselves how the place unfolds for them. The series thus becomes an open composition that can be rearranged and reinterpreted again and again.
