The German Forest
Under the title The German Forest Sabine Wenzel (*1966) photographs wooded
landscapes in different locations in Germany. Open to the energy of the chance
encounter she is always on the look out for the decisive combination of light and
structure that are responsible for the particular atmosphere inherent in her images.
Sabine Wenzel manages to capture the rich variety of different atmospheres to be
found in forests. These powerful images have a tendency to bring back the observer's
memories of long forgotten childhood fantasies with their associated feelings of
security, joy, humility and fear. Home would therefore also have been an appropriate
title for this body of work.
The successful professional photographer, who studied at the HGB in Leipzig, has
managed to create a series of works with a lightness of touch that while ignoring
certain conventions uses to the full the breadth of experience achieved from her
commissioned work, especially that of a documentary nature. Sabine Wenzel's works
are the result of an experimental, dynamic process and have a wonderful painterly
quality.
Printed onto canvas 85 x 125 this impression is reinforced.
"Whereas other photographers are satisfied with images of trees, Sabine Wenzel is
content with nothing less than the forest itself."
