DUSSELDORF, GERMANY.- Anders Galerie im Stilwerk presents Sabine Wenzel 'The German Forest', on view 6 June - 6 July 2007. Under the title The German Forest Sabine Wenzel (*1966) photographs wooded landscapes in different locations in Germany. Open to the energy of the chance encounter she is always on the look out for the decisive combination of light and structure that are responsible for the particular atmosphere inherent in her images.

Sabine Wenzel manages to capture the rich variety of different atmospheres to be found in forests. These powerful images have a tendency to bring back the observer's memories of long forgotten childhood fantasies with their associated feelings of security, joy, humility and fear. Home would therefore also have been an appropriate title for this body of work.

The successful professional photographer, who studied at the HGB in Leipzig, has managed to create a series of works with a lightness of touch that while ignoring certain conventions uses to the full the breadth of experience achieved from her commissioned work, especially that of a documentary nature. Sabine Wenzel's works are the result of an experimental, dynamic process and have a wonderful painterly quality.
