Miami Medusa Blue
PHOTOGRAPHY
Stephanie Bing
The presence of Stephanie Bing's photographs is captivating: when she takes Pictures , she is painting with a lens. Her detailed eye for every living being, for every object, for every spatial structure, brings reality of our world to new level through photography. You will understand things in different light, in different context or in higher resolution. Her objects appear as something new and irritating.
Very excitingly, she presents her view from all over the world with her camera in landscape, texture, nature close-ups, natural patterns and seaside impressions which sometimes evoke a vision of Van Gogh's brushwork.
Stephanie Bing is presenting: MIAMI MEDUSA BLUE 1, she used a macro lens to capture a super close-up of a Portuguese jellyfish at Miami Beach.
Whatever appears blue-turquoise and pink in her photo is actually a tentacle of the Medusa jellyfish at Miami Beach. The small crystals between the tentacles are the finest sand.
„My work reflects my myriads of daily impressions from traveling and being in motion.“
In my painting, as in my photographic works, it is always about "development of organisms", even in my early paintings from 1988 appear smallest structures, tiniest particles, the nuclei of cells. Over the years they slowly grow into new particles, into larger parts, into bodies, into cocoons and came into life.
It is about nothing more than the development of life, about the diversity of life as basic of my art.
"Look closely, I am not a single particle, I am forming myself into something bigger, look, something is already forming, can’t you see?
The egg is forming, the little tadpole is just jumping out of cell nucleus; the mitochondria are opening up, all cell nucleus information is presenting itself on screen; look closer: something is happening, life is being generated."
