Ein Unsagbarer Rest
Zeitlosigkeit und Intimität ist in diesen Fotografien, die an malerische Vorbilder denken lässt. Das Konzept des „Erhabenen“ wird hier spürbar, jene Idee, dass wir etwas Großem, ja Heiligem, Unerreichbarem oder Unendlichem beiwohnen. Wir spüren das Erhabene etwa in den Bildern von Caspar David Friedrich, in seinem „Mönch am Meer“ – genauso, wie in der Fotografie eines Gepards in weiter Savannen-Landschaft, der den Sonnenuntergang betrachtet. Diese Kunstwerke, auch ihre phänomenalen Lichtstimmungen, eröffnen Gefühlsebenen, die sich schwer in Begriffe fassen lassen. Es bleibt ein unsagbarer Rest.

Element of the indescribable
Timelessness and intimacy are embedded in these photographs, recalling painter masterpieces of the past. The concept of the sublime becomes palpable here, as we are overcome by the realization that we are witnessing something magnificent, even sacred, unattainable, or infinite. We sense the sublime, for example, in the paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, in his Monk by the Sea – just as we do in Schmeisser’s photograph of a cheetah in a vast savannah landscape, watching the sunset. These works of art, and their phenomenal atmospheres of light and shadow, open up levels of sentiment that are hard to put into words, creating an element of the indescribable.
