Wasser Bilder. Water Images

Rösch’s pictures, taken between 2004 and 2011 in various places in Europe, do not show tourist attractions, but rather everyday situations on the edges of docks, streams, canals and rivers, rain-soaked streets, damp-fogged glass surfaces, fountains, bridges, swimming pools and the like. Beyond just seeing, they also offer a visual reflection on what photographs are capable of. Water – in itself a substance without shape or color, but very receptive to any influence from its environment, especially light – seems to be a particularly suitable medium for this. The technical means Rösch employs are manifold. Exposure times and different lenses have an effect, but also the photographer’s own movement in the motion photos or the possibilities of later processing, such as double prints or assemblages.
