The fascination birds evoke in us continues unabated. Australian
artist and photographer Christian Spencer, living in the vicinity
of the Brazilian rainforest since 2001, has surrendered to it as
well. "The camera is my brush," is how he describes his style. His
photographs truly capture the poetry of nature, letting its beauty
speak for itself - which is why he forgoes any image editing. He
was the first to capture the breathtakingly fast beating of
hummingbirds' wings in the sunlight, which forms a rainbow in the
air. The world of birds unfolds before his lens in all its
colourful glory and elegance: in reflections on the water, between
blossoms and trees, and high above the treetops. Text in English
and German.
