Background information
"Created in Ireland, China and the island of Sylt, the images are dominated by cold shades of white and blue, which unfold wondrous and singular effects in contrast to the gradations of gray that surround them. There is no subterfuge here, nothing ornamental, no beguiling beauty – only the earnest interplay of the elements.
The 'atmospheric photographic artworks' by Urlike CRESPO owe their evocative power to infrared photography, with which unusual, archaic-looking 'colors' and effects can be generated.
Content
The out-of-print photo volume 'Cold Landscape' by German photographer Ulrike CRESPO assembles 117 images from a world that seems to have come to an end; they are suffused with silence, with only the wind blowing across the cold heart of nature. 'Cold Landscape' is a photographic appeal to our sense of wonder." (© Kehrer Verlag, 2013)
