Elger Esser creates photographs of landscapes and buildings that exude tranquility and the romantic spirit of the early 19th century. His photos of the sea, marshes, rivers, and cityscapes also seem to come from that century, were it not for the fact that they are undoubtedly taken in color—a medium in which Elger Esser feels at home. The pale, almost faded hues that Esser strives to create draw us in as if they were a vague memory, acting as a nostalgic magnet pulling us back to a past that remains ever distant. Yet Esser’s images are the product of recent years; they are undoubtedly very contemporary.
