HOW WATER SHAPES OUR WORLD

Spectacular aerial photographs of water in all its diversity

It flows, chooses the path of least resistance and is elemental in the truest sense of the word: water. And over the past years, young, award-winning photographer Kevin Krautgartner has portrayed it in unusual, impressive and aesthetic images. He documents water in all its facets and shows this fount of life in its wealth of colours, its diversity of forms and in all its fragile beauty. Because no two waters are alike: atypical perspectives highlight unusual, exciting, some- times surreal natural phenomena. The landscape portraits blur the boundaries between the natural and man-made hues of water, often only exposing their essence at second glance. They reveal a world of surprising contrasts and similarities inviting beholders to lose themselves in the images and offering food for thought. In his accompanying essay, Florian Werner offers a profound, humorous and congenial commentary on the essence of water.
