Ulrike Crespo Twilight

There is no line dividing day and night, but a flowing transition that is twilight. Ulrike Crespo therefore has to decide fast when taking her photographs. She succeeds in capturing the wealth of the spectrum of bright to dark grays that join the colors in those brief moments, accompany the colors as they slowly give way to night, as they are gradually dominated first by gray before fading to black. Crespo travels much, which is perhaps why she is so familiar with the transient and the different hues of appearance and disappearance. Wherever she is in the world she casts a glance at the "blue hour" only to increase it by the special fuzzying technique she uses. When viewing her images, we cross over into a realm beyond experience and the world of manifest perception, finding in the gray hiding places a realm perhaps of the unconscious, dreams or other transitory states. We are accompanied along the way by three essays, which each in a very different way show us what Crespo's photographs can enable, what they can give rise to.
