Elger Esser produces photographic vedutas of landscapes and buildings that exude the tranquility and romantic spirit of the early 19th century. His photos of the sea, of marshlands, of rivers, or city panoramas would seem to originate from the 19th century, if it was not for the fact that are quite definitely taken in colour, a medium in which Elger feels at home with.
The pale, almost faded hues that Esser aspires to create attract us as if they were some vague memory, acting like a nostalgic magnet pulling us back into a past that always remains remote. The landscapes of Elger Esser are hauntingly beautiful.
