| 'gravitation, amsterdam' by katrin korfmann, 2010 |
In
recent months I have been visiting London a lot and been wondering about they
way society is being portrayed in different ways; the business of the city
makes you wonder what it would look like from above and then this week I came
across female photographer Katrin Korfmann and her birds eye view images. I saw
them on a website I regularly look at just out of interest and really liked the
way they were shot and her ideas upon society.
German born Korfmann a large-scale image connoisseur captures scenes of
daily human life in public spaces focusing in on the vibrancy and tries to show
society when observed from an Ariel view.
She uses several final images and molds them together to create a
constant flow of movement and display a progression of events or occasion
giving it more significant importance.
I
really like her photos of the vast public spaces and daily life because its an
angle we rarely get to see of the world and society and it makes you feel as if
you are watching the public without being really having to be in that place. My
favorite image is ‘Horizon Vanished’ and image of the public but the way in
which their shadows fall in somewhat perplexing as you see the figure almost as
if they in the scene and not shot as an Ariel View.
