LYS - Photo exhibition at the Stadtmuseum Schleswig
Four years, four countries, two photographers, one aesthetic signature for the whole North - LYS. "Lys" - the Norwegian and Danish word for light could not be more fitting for a project dedicated to the magical light of the North!
Over a period of four years, renowned nature photographers Sandra Bartocha and Werner Bollmann have travelled the landscapes of Scandinavia - in the glow of the midnight sun, under the dancing northern lights, in the snowstorm over the tundra, and on the calm waters of the archipelago, always in search of the inner essence, the soul, of the Nordic landscapes and their fauna and flora. They travelled from the sparse Danish forests in the south to the blue glaciers in the north, from the storm-swept Norwegian coast in the west to the endless forests of Finland in the east.
Inspiriert von dieser Weite, Stille und Einsamkeit entstand eine Hommage an das magische Licht des Nordens, nun vereint in dieser poetischen Ausstellung im Stadtmuseum Schleswig.

The photographers
Sandra Bartocha (*1980) from Potsdam and Werner Bollmann (*1966) from Kiel have been working as professional nature photographers for many years and have published several books during their career ("Nordic Moments", "Müritz National Park" and "Photo School in Pictures - Nature Photography").
Their pictures have been awarded in major international photography competitions (e.g. "Wildlife Photographer of the Year", "GDT European Nature Photographer of the Year", "International Photography Awards") and have been published in magazines and presented in exhibitions worldwide.
Sandra Bartocha is editor-in-chief of the magazine "Forum Naturfotografie", and Werner Bollmann works for this magazine as an editor. The two photographers share an almost congruent conception of image aesthetics and a great love of the European north.
