Special Mention
Clouds are the main characters in this series.
They ensure that abstract photographs of buildings or billboards become more object-like.
Without the clouds, the mysterious scenes would be difficult to read. But the clouds' "personalities" give the surfaces and shapes their dimensions back, which were taken away from them by the reduction of the optical reference points.
German photographer Guido Klumpeās work includes abstract, minimalist, and street photography. Born with a severe congenital visual impairment, he perceives the world differently.
In his work, he investigates how we perceive dimensionality and is particularly interested in the moment of transition, when by reducing the optical reference points, three-dimensional architecture dissolves into a two-dimensional plane, lending many of his images an almost painterly quality. Considerations that arise during this process include the importance of information that helps establish a distinction between the foreground and background, and the type and number of objects involved.
