About the Item

As night falls over the Makgadikgadi Pans, giant trees stand starkly against the horizon. Leafless branches reach for the light. On the opposite side of the sky, Earth’s shadow is rising. True wildness manifests itself in the form of curling black branches in November, silhouetted against an indigo sky. Time exposures blend the boundaries between the visible and the invisible. There is a middle zone where splendor comes into being, where two different realities mingle and blur. If magic exists anywhere, it is here. Our relationship to the wild has always played an important role in my work. This series was inspired by two fascinating, scientific studies that connect tree growth with celestial movement and astral cycles. – Beth Moon

Out of Africa, contemporary, black and white, Africa, Photography, Landscape
By Joachim Schmeisser
Located in München, BY
Edition of 7 more sizes on request A scenery like a painting. Like a scene from the movie Out of Africa. The silhouettes of the umbrella acacias glow in the last warm daylight. Joachim Schmeisser is represented by leading Galleries worldwide. His photographs are among the most sought-after and best-selling works in this genre worldwide and earned him an ever-growing following amongst art collectors. With iconic portraits of Africa‘s big game, Joachim Schmeisser became world-famous, and his distinctive visual language, which brought him great international acclaim, earned him the prestigious Hasselblad Master Award in 2012. The timelessness and intimacy of his photographs are unique and characterized by a delicate sense of „greatness“ that transcends ordinary beauty and makes the concept of the „sublime“ palpable. He gives us the feeling of witnessing something infinite or unattainable, and his phenomenal lighting moods and incomparable compositions open up emotional levels that are difficult to put into words. Joachim Schmeisser‘s unique perspective on the world sets him apart and goes far beyond the usual image of nature photography, documentary, or action photography. He reveals to us a magical vision of our world with equal individuals in which we ultimately recognize ourselves. Joachim Schmeisser is among the most important artists in this genre worldwide. His books on Africa...
