Elger Esser — En Naqoura I, Libanon
Elger Esser

En Naqoura I, Libanon

A sweeping coastal landscape captured with Esser's signature poetic stillness, depicting the Lebanese shoreline at En Naqoura in muted, luminous tones that blur the boundary between sea and sky. The large-format chromogenic print, mounted behind acrylic via the Diasec process, achieves a smooth, immersive surface that heightens the dreamlike quality of the scene. Esser's work draws on the tradition of European Romantic landscape photography, evoking a sense of timelessness and quiet melancholy.

Medium
Chromogenic print, printed 2006, Diasec mounted.
