+ About the work

Flysch (originated from German word fliessen; to flow) is growing upwards from deep water into solid rock forms. This image explores the idea of liquidity and void of a photograph using layered materials and the idea of the alchemical process. This work was inspired and begun during a residency in Bilbao. With thanks to Aldama Fabre and Material Driven.

+ About the artist

Ramona Güntert, (b. 1989) is a German artist based in London. Her practice looks at forms and shapes within nature which are mimicked by bodies of human and animals. She then uses the medium of photography, challenging its existence in print and exploring different material conditions. Her work is constantly transforming and adapting to different spaces, just like camouflage, which emphasises a relationship between the body and its environment but also attempts to question what lies in-between these spaces. These images appear in layers, becoming the skin of the space.

Güntert is interested how such images exist in reality, and how they can slip between repulsion and desire. And ultimately appear as fiction. Her process of image making, is about creating a feeling or a taste of something with the intention making an audience think about their own body and their relationship to others.
