Water is something most of us don't think much about. We drink it, we bath in it, it is a part of our daily life. Yet...Water is one of the main components to creating and maintaining life. From biblical stories through Katrina and the recent oil spill in the gulf, when water is involved it can have a powerful and sometimes deadly impact on human life.
Water is also a central part of sensuality, and often used by Hans Fahrmeyer in his work. From bathing and showering, there is a certain venerability created by using water in photography. When you see two people, together in a pool or bathtub, there is a completeness, a joy that is created. When, however it is one person alone in water....words such as crave and thirst come to mind. These two words connect to what I see when viewing this series. It is also provides a dramatic visual tool. Thanks again to Hans!
