About
Ulla Vibe grew up in the early 70s and as a child, she had a lot of freedom and therefore spent a lot of time exploring the world alone. So, at an early age she experienced the joy of observing the world. Using the camera as a medium provides her with a playful opportunity to intuitively capture a particular mood, a sudden reflection, or an overlooked detail hidden in the recognizable chaos of everyday life.
The cropping and the processing of her photos is essential for achieving this, as it transforms small segments of lager scenes into captivating images that resonate on their own.
Some of the photos have a texture that may cause the viewer to be unsure if it is a photo or a painting. Ulla Vibe hopes these factors not only catches the eye but also sparks the imagination and emotion of the viewer.
All works are limited to copies of three and pigment printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag cotton paper, which imparts an almost tactile materiality to the images and the feeling of being present, entering the artwork, more than just being an observer. The choice of cotton paper achieves the desired expression in the works and complete the experience that simultaneously connects the retrospective and the absolute present. The works are mounted with Artglass, which reduces reflection and provides maximum transparency, as well as UV protection.
