Background information
"The colorful studies of form and light in the limited edition photo volume 'Plein Soleil' by Jessica BACKHAUS are the logical continuation of a previous project, 'Cut Outs' (2021). Powerful, direct sunlight hits colored, transparent paper and using a complex visual language, the photographer documents how the paper reacts to the intense heat, deforms, bends and creates hard shadows. The images here are even more strict and uncompromising than those in the previous project. With 'Plein Soleil', she explores the photographic possibilities of abstraction—she crosses the line between documentary photography and poetic, intuitive color composition." (© Kehrer Verlag, 2024)
