Es ist die Sehnsucht nach Stille, unberührter, laut sprechender Stille. Inmitten dieser Stille stellt sich Jan Scheffler, und sein Blick berührt: den Himmel, die Erde, das Wasser, das Licht. Dann wird es still in ihm. Und im Wissen um die gefährdete Schönheit entstehen seine Bilder. In 89 Licht erzählt er von jenem Norden, den er seit 20 Jahren fotografisch bereist. Er erzählt von dessen Tagen und Nächten, von seinem Hunger nach diesem nordischen Licht, der Poesie dieser Landschaft, zu deren Teil er wird.
Seine Bilder vereinen die Elemente stets spannungsgeladen und doch im Quadrat ruhend. Mal nimmt sich die Erde, mal der Himmel seinen Raum, verdrängt sein Gegenüber, wohlwissend dass am Ende alles seine Ordnung hat. Jan Scheffler widmet sich dem Norden, ihn fasziniert das Licht, dem er mit zwölf Jahren sein erstes Bild widmete.
Begleitet werden seine Fotografien aus Island, Finnland und Norwegen von poetischen Echos der Autorin Jacqueline Majumder.

Der in Berlin lebende Fotograf und Lithograf JAN SCHEFFLER ( 1964) legt mit 89 Licht seine erste Monografie vor.

Summary

It is the longing for silence—inviolate, loudly articulate silence. Jan Scheffler puts himself in the midst of this silence and his gaze brushes the sky, the earth, the water, the light. Then all becomes quiet within him. And his pictures are created in the knowledge of endangered beauty. In 89 Licht he tells of the lands in the north that he and his camera have been traveling through for the past twenty years. He tells of the days and nights there, of his hunger for this northern light, the poetry of the landscape of which he has become a part.
His photographs always unite elements fraught with tension, although they are at rest inside the square. Sometimes the earth takes up most of the room, and sometimes the sky does, displacing its counterpart, well-knowing that in the end, there is an order to everything. Scheffler is devoted to the North; the kind of light he captured in his first photo when he was twelve still fascinates him. Scheffler’s pictures of Iceland, Finland, and Norway are accompanied by the poetic echoes of the author Jacqueline Majumder.
The Berlin-based photographer and lithographer JAN SCHEFFLER (*1964) presents his first monograph, 89 Licht. JACQUELINE MAJUMDER (*1965) writes poems and stories and works with instant pictures.
EXHIBITION Robert Stolz Platz 3, Vienna, Austria November 15–30, 2019
