Domo Baal is delighted to host Daniel Gustav Cramer's third solo show Mountain in the gallery. This will mark the third part of the artist's Trilogy, an extensive personal archive he has been working on since 2003.
The Goethe-Institut, London will concurrently host Four Photographs showing Woodland, Underwater and Mountain photographs for the first time in the UK, side by side. There will be a publication to mark this, with an essay by Charles Darwent alongside six new photographs. "At first glance, Cramer's Woodland images seem obsessively exact, concerned with scientific attention to detail: they should come from a textbook on sustainable forestry. Their complete lack of narrative, straight-on viewpoint, deep focus and square format suggest the pursuit of empirical truth. But a quick stroll through Cramer's woods reveals a rather different quality to his art."
