b*constrictor

A powerful trunk cuts diagonally through the vertical composition and determines the movement of the entire image. Its heavily textured surface stands in sharp contrast to the almost completely white space around it. The extreme perspective makes the trunk appear broader and more distant as it rises, while branches, offshoots, and finer tree structures extend from it into an intricate network.

The reduction to black, gray, and white intensifies the graphic quality of the work. Bark, branching forms, and delicate contours become lines, concentrations, and rhythmic structures. Nature is no longer perceived simply as a tree, but also as a system of form - forceful, ramified, and constantly in motion.

The unusual perspective is central to the image. The trunk appears to twist through space, almost like a physical movement continuing upward. At the same time, the fine branches introduce a sense of lightness and fragility. The tension of the composition emerges from this contrast between the massive central form and the delicate network surrounding it.

bˢconstrictor moves between direct observation of nature and abstraction. The tree remains recognizable, yet perspective, reduction, and framing remove it from its familiar scale. Growth becomes movement, branching becomes drawing - the result is concentrated, dynamic, and open enough to extend far beyond the literal subject.

Each work is produced as a photographic print on glossy Fuji Crystal Archive photographic paper. The material offers a smooth, even surface, subtle tonal gradations, rich color density, and a pronounced depth, particularly in the darker areas of the image.

Production takes place individually to order at WhiteWall, an internationally established and award-winning photographic laboratory specializing in professional photographic production. There, the photographic print, acrylic glass, and framing are precisely coordinated and assembled into a fully finished work. The frames are also produced in WhiteWall’s own frame workshop.

The photographic print is presented behind 2 mm thick, glossy acrylic glass. Its clear surface protects the image while enhancing color, contrast, and spatial depth. Compared with conventional glass, acrylic glass is significantly lighter and more resistant to breakage - an important advantage, especially for larger formats.

Two different framing options are available.

The Slimline frame in black aluminum is designed to remain visually discreet. With a visible frame width of just 1 mm and a depth of 5 mm, it appears from the front as little more than a fine black line around the image. Its slim profile keeps the work close to the wall and reinforces a precise, reduced visual presence.

The ArtBox in black oak wood gives the work a much stronger spatial presence. Its visible frame width is just 4 mm, while the frame depth is 35 mm. This allows the work to project more clearly from the wall. The depth of the frame and the shadow it creates, depending on the direction of the light, give the photograph a distinctly object-like character.

The glossy acrylic glass gives the photograph a clear and intense presence in the room. Colors and contrasts appear particularly pronounced, while darker areas gain additional depth. Depending on the light, the surface can subtly change in appearance, allowing the work to respond to its surroundings.

The choice of framing primarily affects the spatial character of the work: Slimline offers a restrained, nearly flush presentation in which the image itself remains the main focus, while the ArtBox creates greater separation from the wall and emphasizes the work’s physical, object-like presence.

Both framing options are fully finished by WhiteWall and delivered ready to hang, including suitable hanging hardware. No additional framing is required.
