From the website of Lukas Feireiss:
In St. Gil, Berlin-based photographer Jonathan Schmidt-Ott turns his lens towards his immediate surroundings, capturing reflective glimpses of life in contemplative compositions of people and places. The collection encompasses portraits, still lifes, nature studies, landscapes, and architecture, combined in photographic diptychs suspended in silent dialogue, akin to verses in a poem. These visual narratives stand as self-contained units, offering a profoundly personal point of view by interweaving autobiographical and associative moments. They are poetic and unaffected inventories, revealing the artist’s devoted engagement with the world. Each visual dialogue within this publication serves as a repository of mysteries, secrets and serendipities.
Chromogenic prints by c-print, b/w prints by Ina Schröder, and lithography by Max Color.
The book was printed by DZA Druckerei zu Altenburg and published by Spector Books.
