Britta Hagemann
Fine Art Photographer based in Zurich, Switzerland.
Drawing upon my background in Psychology, I enjoy to uncover life affirming quality in the detail of what surrounds us:
Whatever the geographic location or apparent banality, some subject matter - especially when transfixed by light, resonates with us, transports us into a sublime state, or unsuspected place within ourselves.
It is this experience - this subtle shift of awareness, of uplift - that I would like to share through my work, incorporating impressions from Switzerland and all around the world.
Experimenting with visual language, and hints of poetry or story lines, the compositions which emerge - prints, books, gallery boxes, installations - playfully invite the viewer to reconnect with what is at the heart of human nature: Vigor and equanimity, courage, compassion, wonder and joy.
