Diese Fotoserie entstand mit dem Ziel, die Vielseitigkeit und Stimmungsvielfalt des Murtensees fotografisch einzufangen. Der See als zentrales Element steht sinnbildlich für Ruhe, Veränderung und Naturverbundenheit. Durch die Wahl des quadratischen Formats wird eine formale Ruhe erzeugt, die die Bildaussage zusätzlich stärkt.

In the images presented here I show the world of my neighbour and artist Heinz (Henne) Beier. Recycling trash in his workshop of ‘meaningful nonsense’ he creates a colorful, fantastic and vivid world. The images shown here illustrate the dedicated, open and friendly personality of Henne and how this is reflected in his masterpiece, the summerhouse called ‘Columifanteum’.
