Stepping into the light

POWERFULLY striking yet strangely unnerving photographs are on show in the Artlab, level five Sherfield building, until 26 October.

Uta Kogelsberger with 'Gegenlicht'

Uta Kogelsberger's solo exhibit of large scale landscapes, seascapes and buildings, mostly taken at night, suspend time with their eery stillness.

Entitled 'Gegenlicht' - German for backlit - all have a strange manufactured light that seems to emanate from nowhere.

"I am very interested in those places where there is no clear distinction between imagination and reality," said the artist.

"Suddenly there are no set rules and what you always believed no longer applies. Is it possible the sky was really that blue? It is this strange ambiguity, this play between fact and fiction, that I want to capture."
