Pieces. From Farbtöne Series, 2024

Michaela Haider  

Hues of colour, tones of life. Each artwork of the series shows a story, a tone, an element of existence in this world. There are countless shades to it. The images are just a selection of some. An idea being conveyed.Pieces:How do we break apart? And how do we mend our pieces throughout this journey? Is completeness attainable or are we a collection of ever changing elements?

Starting with photographic base elements, such as the figure or the landscape, Haider transforms the scenery into a surreal world through heavy post-production. She uses photographs, that in their essence capture something real, to merge these aspects of reality, slowly creating something unreal and imagined, yet familiar in its story -  a dreamscape, drawing from the essence underneath the surface. In her work the unspoken finds itself translated into images.
