Résumé:
With "Bloom", Thomas Flechtner continues to go his own way as an artist. In his internationally acclaimed debut publication "Snow", he took viewers by surprise with a compelling visual metaphysics of snow as the exploration of a psychological state. After exhibitions in London, New York, Bilbao, and Tokyo, Flechtner is now free to pursue a new passion, the unbridled color and movement of organic nature, which he examines with lyrical lightness and tremendous precision in these densely atmospheric studies of plants. As a photographer, Flechtner goes in search of the essence of nature, abandoning the ostensible safety of distance and allowing proximity and for the first time also movement. In "Bloom", the viewer is invited to take in a feast of light and color and to enter a space beyond nature’s supposed laws.

This elegant book divides the Swiss photographer Thomas Flechtner’s work into four discrete groups, each dealing with a distinct manifestation of snow, its indiscriminate incursions into city and country.

Résumé:
This elegant book divides the Swiss photographer Thomas Flechtner’s work into four discrete groups, each dealing with a distinct manifestation of snow, its indiscriminate incursions into city and country. Mostly the artist observes and records, but he also uses snow as both his medium and subject. The arresting sequence which begins this book shows tracks left in the snow, lines carved out by walking along the contours of a hillside. Often panoramic diptychs carry the lines from one image to the next. Then there are night views of the same hillsides, the topography this time etched in light. Flechtner would attach lights to his skis and, with his camera set at a distance and for a long exposure, traverse the hillside. The two-dimensional result is, in effect, a kind of “writing” or “drawing” in the snow; three dimensionally it becomes sculptural graphics. Later in the book there are photographs of mountain passes, followed by images of the town La Chaux-de-Fonds. Snow is no longer white, but ultramarine, viridian, turquoise, and violet. Finally, there are views of the ice-impacted seas around Iceland and Greenland.

Résumé:
News represents a further development of the much-acclaimed work of artist Thomas Flechtner. Whereas in Snow he looked at snow as a metaphor for timelessness, calm, distance, and loneliness, and in Bloom Flechtner used atmospherically condensed studies of plants to examine the boundless colorfulness and movement of grown nature, for his new project News Flechtner collected newspaper front pages over a period of one year, scattered plant seeds from very different countries over them, watered them, and, finally, exposed them to the sun. He recorded the way the "news" was gradually bleached and overgrown with plants in more than one hundred color photographs. Flechtner contrasts the anarchy of nature with the agenda of mankind, while also questioning the fleetingness of memory and the demands made on it in shaping today's world. Thomas Flechtne r, born in Winterthur in 1961, studied at the Ecole de photographie, Vevey. He has received numerous prizes for his photographic works, which he regularly exhibits. He lives and works in Valliere, France and in Zürich.
