Heinz Hajek-Halke — Träumende Fische (Dreaming fish)
Heinz Hajek-Halke

Träumende Fische (Dreaming fish)

A dreamlike composition of ethereal fish forms drift through a luminous, otherworldly space, created through Hajek-Halke's masterful manipulation of light and shadow. The artist combines photogram techniques with multiple exposures to layer translucent aquatic shapes that seem to float between waking and unconscious realms. The result is a poetic fusion of Surrealist imagination and experimental photography, blurring the boundaries between the natural world and pure abstraction.

Medium
Gelatin silver photogram and multiple exposure.
