Untitled, 1982.
This is one of my favourite photographs by Uelsmann because it is quite a fantasy type of image, that is strange and unique. This image is a fantasy like image because you would never be able to see this in everyday life, which creates a very dream-like photograph.
I admire the way Uelsmann works in the dark room with the way he creates his type of photographs. He uses a number of enlargers in the darkroom to create these types of photographs that are made up of a number of negatives, not to create narratives, but illustrative surrealist imagery of the impossible . I find Uelsmann photographs very fascinating.
This photograph reminds me of the lyrics: "We could plant a house,
We could build a tree" by Nirvana (Breed). I was going to try and recreate this idea with photographs, but then thought of Uelsmann, who had already done this idea without realising it.
