About the Item

THE FOREST The Forest is probably the most complicated and personal series I’ve undertaken. I have spent the past four years photographing for this series, from 2011 through 2014. All of the imagery has been photographed in the Selkirk Mountains, in NE Washington State. I have a cabin in the Colville National Forest, and have spent nearly every summer of my life there. There is no place on earth that I have a greater affinity with. As beautiful a place as it is, however, there is a very palpable sense of mystery and darkness. I believe that there is a very strong presence in this forest, a force that is hard to define but is experienced viscerally. On the periphery, the landscape appears pristine, and seemingly ordered. But upon hiking further in one realizes that there is more of a state of entropy. Fallen trees and jagged branches litter the forest floor. Majestic pines give way to a more gnarled mass of decayed and fallen trees, dense thickets of overgrowth, and clusters of anthropomorphic trees. While The Forest is a series of landscapes made in a specific locale, the core essence of the work is neither about landscape nor the region depicted in the photographs. The landscapes function metaphorically for internal physical and psychological states. What began as an exploration of a land I was intimately familiar with ultimately came to reflect upon elements of my very being that I was less attuned to. The work is quite dark and densely layered, visually as well as in content. The images are interwoven with thoughts on mortality, discovery, loss and renewal. – Ken Rosenthal

All Gerald Berghammer prints are made to order in limited editions on Hahnemuehle Photo Rag Baryta. Each print is stamped on the back and signed and numbered by Gerald Berghammer, and accompanied by a letter of authenticity. Printed with 4cm white border. International award winner photographer Gerald Berghammer, born 1975 in Austria. Traveling around the world and capturing the impressions on analog black and white film was always a passion of the internationally successful master photographer Gerald Berghammer. The idea was to go back to analog photography to create images that decelerate, contrary to our fast-paced digital world. During Gerald Berghammer’s master course, analog photography was the subject of his final thesis in 2011. The quality of the images was convincing and laid the foundations for SILVERFINEART. In the years that followed, the matter was intensively studied to create photographic art at the highest level. Besides the craft of photography itself, all negatives were developed by hand in the darkroom. Afterwards the negatives were selected and only those shots which met the high-quality standards of the photographer were included in the portfolio. Due to COVID and its influence on supply chains and logistic and the resulting lack of analog films and developers, Berghammer adapted to the new circumstances and invested in modern medium format...
