Jessica Backhaus Plein Soleil

Following her series from A Trilogy (2017), Jessica Backhaus embarked on a transformative exploration, shedding the constraints of traditional photography for the depths of abstraction. Cut Outs (2021) marked a breakthrough into a new creative phase with its innovative abstraction. In Plein Soleil, she presents a visual symphony of color, surface, and form. These images, using a complex visual language, are even more radical than before. Through minimalist compilations of reality, Backhaus crafts images that transcend the ordinary, transporting viewers into vibrant realms filled with life-affirming energy.

Jessica Backhaus (* 1970) is considered one of the most important voices in contemporary photography from Germany. With Plein Soleil, Kehrer Verlag presents her ninth monograph.
