Elger Esser Esser is an internationally acclaimed photographer. A student of Bernd and Hilla Becher at the Kunstakademie of Düsseldorf, he terminated his studies with them as soon as he discovered the landscape. With his large format camera, he travels around the world photographing and capturing timeless landscapes, where neither the human figure nor its imprint is visible. Esser’s photographs, testimonies which bridge the historical and the remembered, are inspired by the writings of Proust, Flaubert, and Maupassant. He draws on the nineteenth century not only for its literary and pictorial inspirations, but also as a source of techniques to be experimented with and reinvented (heliogravure, copperplate).
