Observing the natural world with a profound curiosity, a patient gaze, and an extraordinary ability to capture visual patterns and textures, Super 8 artist Helga Fanderl invites us to bask in the beauty of a fugitive present with this latest collection of 16mm blow-ups.

Constellations, a recent
grouping of 16mm colour silent blow-ups
by Super 8 artist Helga Fanderl, returns us
to the natural world, whose beauty has been
observed and rendered with a profound
curiosity, a patient gaze and an extraordinary
ability to capture visual patterns and
textures. Whether following at close range
the semi-circular motion of a handsome,
pacing leopard, its spots evoking rhythmic
patterns through Fanderl's intuitive shooting
process, or closely studying a tray of
glassware on a ship as the sea reflects and
refracts through the crystalline shapes, the
artist fully gives herself over to the present
moment and allows us to bask in it.
