Elger Esser — Burano, Italien
Elger Esser

Burano, Italien

A serene and luminous view of Burano, Italy, rendered in Esser's signature painterly aesthetic that blurs the boundary between photography and classical landscape painting. The chromogenic print captures the island's iconic pastel-colored architecture reflected in still waters, suffused with a soft, diffused light that lends the scene an ethereal, timeless quality. Mounted behind acrylic glass using the Diasec process, the work achieves a depth and richness of color that intensifies the dreamy, contemplative atmosphere characteristic of Esser's practice.

Chromogenic print, Diasec mounted.
