About the Item

Edition of 7 Series "Grey matters" A rock formation in Norway. In 2014 Tom started a four-years-project, photographing all over the world: The trilogy »Awakening«. It consists of three series: »Grey Matter(s)« (2014–2015), »Into the Light« (2015–2017) and »The Light Within« (2018). At first shady and mysterious, then cool and clear, finally contemplative and inviting – each of the three series emits an individual atmosphere. With his trilogy Tom created an homage to our Earth. »Awakening« distinguishes itself by being photographed in colour, even though colour is mostly excluded from his work. Tom like to call it "The Absence of the Juggler Colour". Within the oeuvre »Awakening« he also tries to establish a connection between our planet and the evolvement of the human soul. While part one and two represent aspiration for enlightenment, he sees an end to this pursuit in the third series, when he movs the source of knowledge within the protagonists. Tom Jacobi was born in 1956 in Germany. After studying law he started his photographical career in 1976 in the genre of portrait photography, in which his main focus laid on taking portraits of leading German politicians. In the following year he built his starting point for his long-lasting career at the German magazine ”Stern”. for which Tom Jacobi was employed from his first time at the magazine until 1986 as photographer. In the following 14 years Tom Jacobi worked as a freelance photographer for magazines like ”New York Times Magazine”, and ”The New Yorker”, before he returned to the ”Stern” as art director
