The exhibition Esther's World on display at the Gallery Abtart in Stuttgart presents more than 100 motives – all of which photo favorites of the photographer – visualizing the breadth & depth of her rich photographic imagination. Esther Haase playfully hops the genres: from fashion to portrait & reportage – all marked by her photographic lightness and keen sense for movement and passion. The vernissage takes place on Friday 7 September 2018 at 7:30pm. The introductory speech will be held by Sebastian Lux / F. C. Gundlach Foundation.
For international clients and renowned magazines, she photographs just as freely in her artistic projects. “My life is a dance through the world with the camera,” says Esther Haase (*1966). Her models are cheerful and lively, stylish and sexy, but above all, self-confident and strong. With an eagle eye for that decisive moment, she creates dream sequences, cinematic productions in elaborate settings and witty, seemingly random snapshots. In richly contrasted black & white as well as lyrically soft or colorfully loud hues, she celebrates the joy of existence, playful eroticism, and most importantly – life.
Several photos can be admired in the Hatje-Cantz illustrated book Esther‘s World released in 2017 (GoSee reported).
