Zak van Biljon

South African, Swiss, b. 1981
Red turf is the homeland of Zak van Biljon. The South African photographer, born in 1981, spent his childhood and teenage years in both Johannesburg and Cape Town. 2003 he graduated as the best student at the National College of Photography. With a study of black & white printing – ironically, for someone who grew up under the colorful impressions of the Rainbow Nation. In 2004 he left the country and emigrated to Europe. It was in Rome, that he discovered another sunlight, and in London, where he scored himself on top of booking lists for prestigious underground labels. He continued his career as a part-time commercial photographer in Zurich, Switzerland, exerting his mastery of his fine art projects. His work ranges from digital to analog with skills in contemporary advertising and modern art photography. His main focus is the directorial handling of light – as shown in his recent artwork, capture the world in infrared. The world seen in red and pink colors provides a new and impressive insight to reality as we know it. I am from South Africa where I grew up in nature. In fact, I had only seen a neighbor for the first time when I was 12 years old. Nature is important to me and I really like the outdoors where I do hiking or rock climbing. When it comes to my photography, I like to learn more by exploring. My first camera was a disposable camera which I took along on our first family trip to Namibia. He started with black and white infrared photography In 2001. The popularization of infrared photography started in the 1960s. A number of recording artists, including Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa, made use of the technique on their album covers. The CD cover of Bob Dylan attracted my attention. Later, he tried color infrared photography in 2009 and I really love the way it presents. Zak always loved landscape photography. He admits that his father is a hobby photographer who inspired him a lot. Since the artist has been exposed to different cultures, the various social environments influenced me as well.

Untitled 3 2021 Fine art print on Hahnemuhle hemp paper mounted on dibond in smoked oak frame with museum glass 98 x 129 x 4 cm To get a fresh look at natures beauty in a modern era, Zak van Biljon went beyond the visible spectrum to capture these vivid images. The technique, developed for military surveillance and crop surveys, captures near-infrared light: wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation that fall between what we see as red and the longer wavelengths used for thermal imaging. The pigment in plant leaves, chlorophyll, strongly absorbs visible light which they use as a source of energy in the process of photosynthesis. The cell structure of the leaves, on the other hand, strongly reflects near-infrared light. A strong absorption at these wavelengths would only result in overheating the plant and possibly damaging the tissues. The human eye is unable to perceive infrared light but it is exactly this reflected energy, which reacts with infrared-sensitive material to create electric pinks and vibrant reds. The idea of landscapes is not landscape by itself. Nothing exists by itself but only through perception. Our perception, however, is subject to both individual watching and classifying what we see. The classification is strongly subdued to the imagery with which we are confronted every day. The famous Windows computer desktop image “Bliss” and others of this kind have become a kind of nature of which we believe that it is “true” nature. Pictures of natures are not about falsifying nature itself but are reflecting our perception of nature. What kind of image do we have?
