The Ethereal Captures Of Gundula Blumi

- Anna Dorothea Ker
Berlin-based photographer Gundula Blumi takes dreamy experimental shots that explore long-exposure, double takes and the subversion of the printing process.
“Emotions or subconscious images and thoughts finally ‘get a chance to speak’ in the picture.”Citing her inspirations as “surreal moments, bizarre emotions [and] realities below the surface”, the photographer distorts the images she takes, playing with light, color and water until the photographs lose their original meaning, and take on a new, more mysterious quality. “Emotions or subconscious images and thoughts finally ‘get a chance to speak’ in the picture,” explains Blumi. “Sometimes when I look at images that I have created a longer time ago I notice that they don`t fit anymore to my inner reality. Then I know that something has changed.”
